Athens, Georgia, will host two major concerts at a college football stadium next year. Country singer Morgan Wallen announced on Thursday that he will perform at Sanford Stadium on July 16 and 17, 2027. The dates are part of his Last Time I Checked Tour.
The event follows a recent announcement that Noah Kahan will perform in the same venue on April 24. This marks the second time a major non-sports event is scheduled for the home of the Georgia Bulldogs football program in 2027. Previous concerts in the stadium included Taylor Swift and the Alabama band in 2023 and 2024.
Wallen shared the news on social media, praising the atmosphere of the venue. "Because we are very very excited about this and it is what it is, it is a very special place for us to perform at," Wallen wrote in a caption. He noted that the stadium offers a unique environment for fans.
The July 16 show will feature Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, and Stella Lefty as opening acts. The following night on July 17 will include Brooks & Dunn, Swindell, and Lefty. Brooks & Dunn leader Bryant Crosby expressed enthusiasm for returning to the venue. "It is a very special place for us to perform at," Crosby said.
Presale tickets for the Wallen concerts go on sale at 11 a.m. Tuesday. Fans can register online to secure their spots before the general public sale begins.
The addition of Wallen's tour stops increases the number of large-scale concerts planned for the stadium in the upcoming year. The venue has become a popular destination for major artists seeking a distinctive setting.
