Morgan Wallen is heading back on tour after wrapping up the legal drama that unfolded from his Nashville, Tennessee, chair-throwing incident.
Wallen named his fourth studio album, “I’m the Problem,” and the title track is set to be released Jan. 31. The 31-year-old singer-songwriter will jump back into touring with a 19-show stadium tour to support the new album.
“We made so many lifelong memories on the ‘One Night at a Time World Tour,’ and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for my fans and the way they showed up each night,” Wallen said in a statement. “As I’ve been working on new music, it has inspired me to get back on the road and share these new songs with each of you on the ‘I’m the Problem Tour.’ See y’all there.”
Wallen will have a rotating lineup of guests for the tour, including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel.

“As I’ve been working on new music, it has inspired me to get back on the road and share these new songs with each of you on the ‘I’m The Problem Tour.’ See y’all there.”
In the 10 years since he released his debut EP and became a professional singer-songwriter, Wallen has broken records left and right and earned acclaim among his peers in the country music community.
Wallen, 31, hit his stride in 2024 and topped the Country Music Association Awards nominations with seven nods, including entertainer of the year, single of the year and male vocalist of the year.
Despite success on the stage, Wallen personally faced an uphill battle after he was arrested in April for throwing a chair off a rooftop bar in Nashville.
