The transition from the intimate confines of a 4,000-seat venue to a sprawling stadium is a leap few artists can make without losing their footing. For Morgan Wallen, the shift was nearly instantaneous. Just eight days after a low-key appearance at the Pinnacle in Nashville to launch his SiriusXM radio station, the country superstar stepped onto the turf of U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on April 10.
Performing before an estimated 70,000 fans, Wallen kicked off the first night of his “Still The Problem” tour with a display of comfort that suggested the scale of the crowd was irrelevant to his delivery. The event served as a high-energy expansion of his previous touring efforts, blending the massive production requirements of a stadium reveal with the songwriting depth of an artist who has spent the last few years intentionally “supersizing” his discography.
The evening was a marathon of country and crossover hits, spanning roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes. For those tracking every song performed in Minneapolis, the opening night setlist was a comprehensive survey of Wallen’s career, featuring 28 tracks drawn from his four studio albums. Despite the length of the show, the sheer volume of his recent releases—most notably 2025’s I’m the Problem with its 37 tracks and 2023’s One Thing At A Time with 36—meant that several chart-topping hits remained in the wings.
A Setlist Built on Volume
Wallen’s strategy of releasing massive, multi-track albums has given him a rare advantage on the road: a nearly inexhaustible supply of material. In Minneapolis, he leaned heavily into his newest function while maintaining the anchors of his earlier success. The performance balanced high-tempo anthems designed to reach the back rows of the stadium with more stripped-down moments that echoed his Nashville roots.
However, the setlist was not without its omissions. Most notably, Wallen did not perform “What I Want,” his Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 duet with Tate McRae. Observers noted that the absence of the track may have been a logistical choice, as none of the night’s opening acts were women. There is speculation that the duet may rotate into the set when Ella Langley joins the tour as a support act.
The full sequence of songs performed during the Minneapolis opening night is detailed below:

The Supporting Cast and Tour Dynamics
The Minneapolis show featured a trio of opening acts: Vincent Mason, Gavin Adcock, and Thomas Rhett. The chemistry between the openers and the headliner was evident during “Up Down,” where Adcock and Mason joined Wallen on stage, and again during “Cowgirls,” featuring Rhett.
As the “Still The Problem” tour progresses, the supporting lineup is expected to shift. Other artists scheduled to open for Wallen in various cities include HARDY, Brooks &. Dunn, Flatland Calvary, Blake Whiten, Zach John King, and Jason Scott & The High Heat. This rotating cast of support acts suggests a strategy to maintain the show fresh for fans in different regions and to accommodate the varying styles of the songs Wallen chooses to perform each night.
Tour Logistics and Schedule
The current stadium outing is a significant logistical undertaking, focusing on a small number of high-capacity markets rather than a traditional multi-city trek. The tour focuses on 12 primary cities, with a pattern of two-night residencies in almost every location to maximize attendance.
| Detail | Tour Specification |
|---|---|
| Total Cities | 12 |
| Standard Engagement | 2 Nights per city |
| Schedule Exception | Tuscaloosa, Alabama (1 Night) |
| Tour Conclusion | August 1 in Philadelphia, PA |
The Impact of the “Supersized” Catalog
Wallen’s approach to album length—averaging over 36 tracks per recent release—has fundamentally changed how he constructs his live shows. While most artists struggle to fill a two-hour set without relying heavily on vintage hits, Wallen can rotate deep cuts from his newest projects without sacrificing the “greatest hits” feel of a stadium concert. This allows him to test novel material and keep the setlist dynamic across the 12-city run.
Though he hinted at the existence of new music during the Minneapolis stop, no unreleased tracks were debuted. The focus remained squarely on the established hits of I’m the Problem and One Thing At A Time, ensuring that the 70,000 fans in attendance had a familiar, sing-along experience.
The tour is now moving toward its final stretch, with the concluding performance scheduled for August 1 in Philadelphia. Fans can expect further adjustments to the setlist as the tour rotates support acts and Wallen potentially integrates the missing duets from his latest album.
