Morgan Wallen's Phoenix concerts: Everything to know if you're going to Chase Field
Morgan Wallen is holding court at the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks for a two-night stand at Chase Field July 19-20 in support of one of this year’s biggest albums, "One Thing at a Time.”
At last count, Wallen's follow-up to "Dangerous: The Double Album" had spent 15 weeks in the top spot on the Billboard album chart, surpassing Bad Bunny to become the album with the most weeks at the top so far in 2023.
Wallen hasn't played in the Valley since a KNIX Secret Show in September 2022.
In April 2022, he headlined Country Thunder Arizona, drawing the weekend's largest crowd.
He’ll be joined at Chase Field by special guest Hardy and additional support acts Ernest and Bailey Zimmerman.
Here's everything you need to know before you go see Morgan Wallen at Chase Field, including where to park, the clear bag policy and what to expect from the concert.
