Following a whirlwind year opening for some of the biggest names in Country music, exciting new talent MORGAN WALLEN will blaze his own trail in 2018, hitting the road for his headlining UP DOWN TOUR presented by Shiner Light Blonde.
“I can’t wait to get on the road and play some new music for people across the country,” shares Wallen. “I’ve been lucky enough to watch and learn from incredible artists and entertainers like FGL who took me out on their tours early on. Now, I’m excited to hit the stage as a headliner and really show everyone what I’m about.”
The electrifying new face has been crafting his live show as support for the likes of Florida Georgia Line, Chris Lane, and Granger Smith. The UP DOWN TOUR kicks off February 2 in Indianapolis, IN, with tickets on sale December 15. Wallen will be joined by opener Ray Fulcher for select dates on the coast-to-coast run.
“Up Down,” Wallen’s latest single which features FGL, is on it’s way to being a surefire hit, already in the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and within the Top 50 on Country Airplay charts just one week after hitting radio airwaves. The swampy head-bobber follows his Top 30 debut single “The Way I Talk.”

About Morgan Wallen:
Born in Sneedville, Tenn. (also home to bluegrass legend Jimmy Martin), Wallen was a star on the baseball diamond, attended the same high school as Country superstar Kenny Chesney, and has deep roots in the church. With a Hard Rock-loving preacher for a father and a mother who couldn’t get enough Country and contemporary Christian music, Wallen began performing for his local congregation at the tender age of 3 and went on to develop a strong love of Country, Rock and Hip-Hop. After moving to Music City in 2015, he’s co-written with hitmakers like Craig Wiseman, Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins, the Warren Brothers, Tommy Cecil and Matt Dragstrem, and has been honing his studio poise with award-winning producer Joey Moi. Wallen’s five-song EP THE WAY I TALK (2016) features Top 30 debut single “The Way I Talk,” that made its mark on Spotify’s popular Wild Country, New Boots and New Music Friday playlists.
