Morgan Wallen races toward next album as tour grows
When Morgan Wallen released his 37-song album I'm the Problem on May 16, 2025, it seemed like a career peak. He told his inner circle he felt ready to start another record.
That restless pace is reshaping the next phase of his career. As his 2026 Still The Problem stadium tour fills calendars from Minneapolis to Philadelphia, Wallen is again stockpiling songs to keep up with demand.

His 30-plus song efforts started with ‘Dangerous,’ just because he was hyper-creating. We never set out to do a big volume as a strategy. It only came by him sitting in the boardroom with Joey and I and going, ‘Man, I’m up to 18 songs, what am I gonna do?’ I recall a Drake album that had like 30 at the time because he just had a burst of creativity. I was like, ‘Well, man, just make the music, make it honestly, and we’ll figure this out.’ But it wasn’t based off some trite strategy.

I'm the Problem studio grind
Inside Wallen's team, the surprise is how quickly new music arrived. For I'm the Problem, he generated well over 150 potential tracks at his farm outside Nashville, cut about 60 in the studio and then trimmed the album down to 37 songs, repeating the oversized approach that defined Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing at a Time.
The engine behind that volume is a routine that blurs everyday life with work. Writing sessions often start on his property after long days spent with family or friends and continue over a constant stream of voice memos and texts to producer Joey Moi and frequent co-writers. By September 2025, Moi was already hearing that Wallen wanted to "start cutting more songs," a signal that another cycle was beginning even as the last one was still in motion.

Still the Problem 2026 horizon
That new cycle will unspool on one of the biggest tours in country music. The Still The Problem Tour is booked for 21 stadium dates between April 10, 2026 in Minneapolis and August 1, 2026 in Philadelphia, many of them two-night stands with rotating support from Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, Ella Langley, Thomas Rhett and a bench of emerging acts.
Fans who trailed him from club gigs to arenas describe the stadium run as a leap in scale, where mass singalongs and stripped-down acoustic breaks feel like different chapters of the same story.
Each show is designed as a marathon built around I'm the Problem and earlier hits, with elaborate staging and a portion of every ticket directed to his foundation for youth music and sports programs. Offstage, Wallen arrives at this run as the reigning Entertainer of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards, with 18 career nominations, two wins and a new International Artist Achievement Award in 2025 that underscores his global reach.
