December 12, 2022

US country music star Morgan Wallen has added two more shows to his Australian tour next year. Wallen will head around the country in March, playing dates in all major cities. He’s now added an extra Sydney show on Wednesday, 22nd March and an extra Melbourne show on Saturday, 25th March.

Wallen has locked in HARDY, ERNEST, and Bailey Zimmerman as supports. All three support acts will also be featuring at Queensland’s CMC Rocks Festival, which Wallen is co-headlining with Zac Brown Band.

Morgan Wallen: ‘Thought You Should Know’

The country artist has had a number of controversies over the years, first falling foul when he was filmed partying maskless before he was due to play Saturday Night Live, thereby breaching the show’s COVID protocols.

It got much worse: he was filmed saying a racial slur after arriving home from a night out partying in Nashville. In the footage, published by TMZ, Wallen is heard yelling, “Take care of this pussy-ass motherfucker,’ and “take care of this pussy-ass n****.”

“I’m embarrassed and sorry,” Morgan said at the time, as per People. “I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever.” He was dropped from numerous brand deals during the uproar, but the incidents haven’t dented his commercial success.
