Country star Morgan Wallen will return to U.S. Bank Stadium on June 20 and this time he’s the headliner.

Those seeking tickets need to register in advance at registration.ticketmaster.com/morganwallen by the end of the day Sunday. Once registration is closed, fans will be randomly selected to receive a day and time of the presale along with a code to purchase tickets. VIP packages will be available at 11 a.m. Oct. 4 via vipnation.com. Neither the venue nor the promoter announced ticket prices.

Wallen, 30, emerged in 2014 as a contestant on the sixth season of “The Voice,” but was eliminated during the playoffs. He released his debut EP the following year and scored his first major hit with 2017’s “Up Down.” Nearly every single he’s released since has landed at either No. 1 or 2 on the country charts.

After releasing his debut album “If I Know Me” in 2018, Wallen hit the road and opened for Luke Bryan at Target Field that July. His sophomore effort, “Dangerous: The Double Album,” earned glowing reviews and was the biggest hit of any genre in 2021.

But Wallen has come under fire for a number of events in recent years, starting in May 2020 when he was arrested outside Kid Rock’s Nashville bar for public intoxication and disorderly conduct. That October, he was booked to play “Saturday Night Live,” but producers postponed his performance after a series of videos hit social media showing Wallen flouting COVID-19 protocols at a house party.

In early 2021, the gossip website TMZ released a video showing Wallen using a racial epithet, just weeks after the release of “Dangerous.” Radio stations and streaming services dropped his music from their platforms, although the backlash didn’t affect his record sales. In August, Wallen angered fans by canceling a concert in Mississippi just moments before he was set to take the stage.

Wallen’s 2022 headlining tour sold out every date and that June he made his U.S. Bank Stadium debut opening for Eric Church. He has spent much of this year playing arenas and stadiums.

Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith and Bryan Martin are also on the bill.
