Morgan Wallen will visit the UK for the first time for a run of shows in May 2020 as part of a European headline tour. The singer has been touring with Jason Aldean in the USA and will join up with Luke Bryan in late May for another run of shows. Needless to say, Morgan Wallen is an artist in high demand. Special guest for the UK shows is Hardy whose ‘Rednecker’ single and a run of platinum singles as a songwriter has marked him as one to watch on the modern country scene. Ticket pre-sales begin February 5th, and will go on-sale to the general public February 7th. Much more about Morgan Wallen and Hardy follows:
UPDATE on Tour cancellation
“For obvious reasons we’ve had to cancel these shows. I’m sorry y’all. I wish there was some way around it, but this is our only option right now. I was looking forward to coming over there so much, I’ve never been to the UK before. I’ll be back. Y’all take care and stay safe during this weird time”
The original London date has sold out and an additional show has been added for May 16th.
Hot on the heels of his sold-out U.S. headlining run and a nationwide direct support slot on Jason Aldean’s WE BACK TOUR, Big Loud Records star Morgan Wallen will bring his talents and raved-about live show across the pond for his first European headline run, featuring four UK shows. Check out the video for current single ‘Chasin’ You’, taken from debut album ‘If I Know Me’.
“I can’t wait to get over to the UK for my first time ever. I’ve always heard how amazing the fans are over there – looking forward to experiencing it for myself. Y’all get ready for a good time”
The tour, promoted by Live Nation, launches May 14th at Manchester’s Gorilla, with Wallen bringing longtime collaborator and friend HARDY along for the ride. With Top 25 debut single “Rednecker,” and four Platinum-certified #1 singles as a songwriter under his belt – alongside upcoming state-side touring runs with Cole Swindell and Thomas Rhett – the rising singer-songwriter adds to his resumé with the international stint

ABOUT MORGAN WALLEN:
With over 1.5 BILLION career streams to his credit, multiple GOLD and PLATINUM certifications and Billboard’s #1 song of 2019 on both the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts (the PLATINUM multi-week #1, “Whiskey Glasses”), Morgan Wallen has officially staked his claim as Country music’s next superstar. The dynamic Tennessee native has been riding a red-hot win streak since 2017, collecting accolades which also include two straight chart-toppers, his first-ever CMA Awards nomination (2019 New Artist of the Year), a nod for 2019 CMT Breakthrough Video of the Year(“Whiskey Glasses”), spotlight placements on PEOPLE’s 2019 Ones to Watch and MusicRow’s 2019 Next Big Thing lists, and high-profile features by The Associated Press, The Washington Post, Genius, and more. While his romantically charged current single, “Chasin’ You,” races up the Country charts, Wallen closed out the decade with the surprise release of his reflective coming-of-age anthem, “This Bar,” and then launched his third consecutive headlining tour – MONSTER ENERGY OUTBREAK TOUR PRESENTS: MORGAN WALLEN’S WHISKEY GLASSES ROADSHOW. The breakout talent is now preparing his second album, expected for 2020 release, and is on the road as direct support for Jason Aldean’s WE BACK TOUR.
ABOUT HARDY:
Big Loud Records/Tree Vibez Music’s HARDY continues to put his loud-and-rowdy stamp on modern Country music as both an artist and a CMA-nominated songwriter (Song of the Year - “God’s Country”). Releasing HIXTAPE VOL. 1, with 17 all-star collaborations (Keith Urban, Thomas Rhett, Dustin Lynch) on 10 brand new tracks, the unprecedented compilation album has been praised as "one of the most ambitious projects of the year" (Billboard). The countrified mixtape follows career-launching EPs THIS OLE BOY and WHERE TO FIND ME, which produced Top 25 debut single “REDNECKER,” the down South, swampy anthem that defines his brand of Country. The pride of Philadelphia, MS, has been named a Vevo DSCVR artist, MusicRow 2020 Next Big Thing artist, and “One To Watch” by CMT, Rolling Stone, Amazon, Pandora and more. As a songwriter, HARDY is “one of Music Row’s most consistent hit-makers on the rise” (CMT), tallying four #1 singles in 18 months – Morgan Wallen’s PLATINUM “Up Down” (feat. Florida Georgia Line), FGL’s 2X PLATINUM “Simple,” Chris Lane’s PLATINUM “I Don’t Know About You” and Shelton’s PLATINUM “God’s Country.” HARDY will join Cole Swindell’s DOWN TO EARTH TOUR in March, and Thomas Rhett’s CENTER POINT ROAD TOUR this summer. His next single, “One Beer,” hits radio airwaves nationwide in February.
