Morgan Wallen’s ‘I’m the Problem’ tour: New music, old controversies, and fan reactions

Morgan Wallen has announced his 2025 I’m the Problem tour, set to promote his upcoming album. Kicking off on June 20, 2025, in Houston, Texas, the tour will cover 19 dates, including stops in Wisconsin, Florida, Arizona, and Seattle. However, the announcement has sparked fan outrage, particularly due to the omission of Wallen’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, from the lineup.
New music and major collaborations
The I’m the Problem tour is in support of Wallen's fourth studio album, which features the title track, "I’m the Problem," due for release on January 31. Wallen shared the news on his Instagram, noting that the album was still in progress.

Joining Wallen on tour will be a host of big-name country stars, including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, and Thomas Rhett. Despite fans eagerly awaiting his return to the stage, the absence of Tennessee from the tour dates has led to significant backlash.

Fan backlash and missing cities
Many fans were quick to voice their disappointment, especially those from Tennessee, Wallen's home state, and Georgia. Fans expressed confusion and frustration, with comments such as, "No Tennessee is a crime" and "No show in Tennessee aka your hometown?" These reactions underscore the deep connection fans have to the artist, and the missing stops in major country music hubs have not gone unnoticed.

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

As he takes the stage for his highly anticipated tour, fans will be looking forward to hearing new material and reflecting on the journey that has shaped Wallen’s musical evolution.
