So when he announced a show in his hometown of Knoxville, fans naturally flocked to Ticketmaster.

Knoxville Show Is Wallen’s “Ultimate Dream,” Mom Says
Packing his beloved Vols’ home is the “ultimate dream” for Morgan Wallen, according to his mom, Lesli. And when the “Lies, Lies, Lies” singer takes the stage at Neyland Stadium on Sept. 20, he will join only a handful of artists who have had the privilege of performing on the Vols’ home turf.
The palatial sports venue opened in 1921, but the first concert didn’t happen until Michael Jackson performed there with the Jackson 5 in August 1984. Then, Neyland Stadium went another two decades without a concert—until Kenny Chesney showed up in 2003.
Sixteen years later, more than 84,000 fans packed the stadium for country legend Garth Brooks in November 2019. The venue can hold 101,915 people, so let’s see what Morgan Wallen does with that.
