It was quite a tour.
This past weekend, Morgan Wallen wrapped up his Still The Problem tour in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Lincoln Financial Field with the final of 23 total stadium shows this summer in 12 cities, and there’s no doubt it’s been wildly successful. A report from Hits Daily Double projects that a back-of-the-envelope estimate indicates that the Still The Problem Tour could gross a staggering $500 million, which would make it the first in country music history to gross over half a billion dollars should it reach that threshold.
In turn, it would also allow the “Don’t We” singer to claim the title as the owner of the highest-grossing country tour ever, passing Beyoncé’s record of $407.6 million with 2025’s Cowboy Carter Tour (if we’re actually gonna call that a country music tour). Additionally, the $500 million mark would allow Wallen to enter the Top 20 highest-grossing tours of all time with Still The Problem, joining the likes of Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Bruce Springsteen, Metallica and more.
I have to imagine he will likely surpass that number and find a new spot in the record books (which he does quite often), and throughout the months-long trek, Morgan was joined by openers Brooks & Dunn, Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Flatland Cavalry, Hudson Westbrook and many more. Of course, he did his signature walkout every night too, and he had tons of recognizable figures do it with him, in addition to doing some solo, in Nick Saban, Tim Tebow, Ray Lewis, Quinn and Jack Hughes and more.
Of course, throughout the tour, several different moments became huge headlines, but one of the biggest stories of the tour has to be how much he’s given back to each city he toured in, which included 12 North American stadiums like Bryant-Denny Stadium, Soldier Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, Michigan Stadium, University of Clemson’s Memorial Stadium and Lincoln Financial Field.
Through his Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF), which supports youth music and athletic programs and gives communities access to essentials in times of crisis. Those donations enabled MWF to donate over $1 MILLION worth of instruments to 26 schools in need across U.S. touring cities. As usual, Morgan donated a portion of every ticket sold to his foundation, which helps make huge donations like that possible.
One of the schools, Sto-Rox Junior/Senior High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, received $40,000 worth of instruments. Sonya Coleman, Sto-Rox School District Superintendent, says his generous gift will have a “lasting impact” and will have a positive influence on students for years to come:
“We are truly honored and excited to receive this generous donation of musical instruments from the Morgan Wallen Foundation. This gift will have a lasting impact on our students and our music program by providing access to high-quality instruments that will inspire creativity, enhance learning opportunities, and help our young musicians continue to grow both artistically and personally.
Partnerships like this demonstrate the power of giving back to communities and creating opportunities that will positively influence students for years to come.”
It’s no secret that funding for music and arts programs are often the first to see cuts, and so it’s really cool to see Morgan put such an emphases on that and do a lot to help give kids a chance to learn and fall in love with music… you never know how it could impact the next “Morgan Wallen.”
Clearly, music has meant a lot to him, and the Morgan Wallen Foundation has done a whole lot of good for children all over the country this year, and that should be celebrated just as much as all of his record-breaking, sold-out shows.
Morgan is already teasing the next era of music since this tour wrapped up, releasing the first single of a forthcoming (still unannounced album) this past Friday called “Been By Now”:
