Shortly before his scheduled start time, country music artist Morgan Wallen called off his Friday night performance in Tampa. Wallen’s current tour features a rotating lineup of supporting acts, including Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Bailey Zimmerman, Jon Pardi, Nate Smith, Bryan Martin, Lauren Watkins, and Ella Langley. Under the banner “One Night at a Time Tour,” this performance is in promotion of his album of the same name from 2023.
Why was the show rescheduled? The announcement came via the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on July 12th, shortly before his performance at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
“I hate to reschedule shows, but I powered through being sick in Tampa last night and unfortunately woke up feeling way worse today,” Wallen shared in a post to his fans.
He stressed that he wouldn’t be able to give his best performance if he continued, which led to the decision to postpone the Tampa show to October 4th and the Charlotte shows to October 18th and 19th.
Concert promoter Live Nation confirmed that all previously purchased tickets for the Charlotte shows will be honored for the new dates in October.
Recent incidents during Morgan Wallen’s shows During Wallen’s June 27 performance at Mile High Stadium in Denver, an overly enthusiastic fan threw their cell phone at him. The phone hit his shoulder and landed on the stage. Wallen, unfazed, tossed the phone offstage and continued performing “Cowgirls.”

At his Minneapolis show on June 21, Wallen was hit in the face with a fan’s underwear. He stayed calm, smiled, and moved to the other side of the stage.
Wallen will continue touring North America until August, having kicked off the 2024 leg of his “One Night at a Time World Tour” in Indianapolis in April.
