HEADLINE: Singer Morgan Wallen Announces Rescheduled Stadium Tour Dates Following Extended Vocal Rest Period

DATELINE: NASHVILLE, TN – In a formal statement released earlier today, country music artist Morgan Wallen has confirmed the rescheduling of the opening dates for his forthcoming stadium tour.

WHO: The announcement was made by Morgan Wallen’s management team, citing advice from medical professionals.

WHAT: Wallen is extending a previously announced period of vocal rest by an additional four weeks. Consequently, the first six performances of his headlining stadium tour—originally scheduled for the end of the month in Tampa, Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia—have been postponed.

WHERE: The impacted events were scheduled to take place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
