Morgan Wallen kicked off his 2026 “Still The Problem Tour” over the weekend with two sold-out nights at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Wallen brought back his famous walk out tradition for this run, joined by NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen. Before the walk out, Theo Von joined him for a tour-opening video. He opened his 28 song set with current country radio single “Don’t We.”

“We took a few months off after tour last year. Whenever I walk out and there’s a welcome like that, I always ask ‘Why did I take so many months off?’ But it’s been good for me, good for my band, good for my team,” Wallen shared from stage. “I feel like we’re ready to do it again this year. I appreciate y’all for being the first night on the Still The Problem Tour. We’re gonna sing quite a few songs tonight. I tried to switch up the setlist a little bit this year – I hope y’all enjoy.”

Throughout the night, Wallen performed a string of hits and fan favorites, including “I Wrote The Book,” “Cover Me Up,” “I’m A Little Crazy,” “Wasted On You,” “Chasin’ You,” “7 Summers,” “Sand In My Boots,” “Last Night,” and “Whiskey Glasses.”

Opening acts Vincent Mason and Gavin Adcock also joined the stage during Wallen’s set for his breakout hit “Up Down.” Afterwards, Thomas Rhett came out for “Cowgirls.”

The “Still The Problem Tour” will continue this Saturday (April 18) in Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and will make stops at Clemson’s Memorial Stadium, Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Michigan’s Michigan Stadium and more throughout the run. Rotating support among the dates include Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, Ella Langley, Rhett, Adcock, Hudson Westbrook, Flatland Cavalry, Jason Scott & The High Heat, Zach John King, Mason and Blake Whiten.

A portion of every ticket sold will benefit the Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF), which supports programs for youth in the areas of sports and music.

Drew Baldridge is returning to his hometown of Patoka, Illinois on Sept. 19 for the fourth annual The BIG Baldridge and Bonfire Festival, celebrating more than 300 stops of his grassroots “Baldridge and Bonfires Tour.”

The homegrown event rooted in Baldridge’s core themes of farm, faith and family launched in 2022 with three consecutive shows, and returns in 2026 after a one-year hiatus. Baldridge will headline the festival, performing his hits including his No. 1 “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,” the top 10 single “Tough People” and his current radio single “Rebel,” among others. Adam Sanders is also set to join the lineup with additional acts to be announced, and tickets are available here.

“I’m so excited to bring this festival back to Patoka for its fourth year,” says Baldridge. “It means so much to give back to the people who have supported me from the very beginning. It’s truly an honor to continue this tradition and celebrate in September on the farm with my friends and family!”

The event arrives amid continued momentum for Baldridge, whose recent releases include “Deserve Her,” “Get Me Gone” featuring Emily Ann Roberts, and a new rendition of “Scars” with I AM THEY. He’s racked up more than two billion streams and impressions to date, and recently completed international runs opening for Jelly Roll across Australia and New Zealand, followed by his first headlining tour in the U.K. and Europe. Baldridge will play dates with Cody Johnson this spring and Luke Bryan this summer, and is currently working on new music set for release later this year.

Maggie Rose‘s new album, Half Moon, is set for release Aug. 14 on One Riot. The first single from the album, “Red Shoes” kicks off the new chapter for the singer-songwriter.

“Red Shoes” marks a striking evolution in Rose’s sound, and the groove-driven track blends her signature soul-infused vocals with a fierce spirit of independence. On the infectious track written by Rose, Lawrence Rothman, and Daniel Tashian, Rose’s vocals take on a joyful ferocity as she delivers an anthem of unapologetic pleasure. She immersed herself in the making of her new album with reckless abandon, and Half Moon took shape through a fluid process that began with the three musicians meeting up every few weeks to write in Tashian’s home studio.

“The sound is orchestral and wide-ranging because I was trying to capture and portray the duality within the album,” says Rose. “Like the moon, the whole of us is always there but revealed differently depending on the light.”

Rose scored back-to-back Grammy nominations for her lauded 2024 LP No One Gets Out Alive and 2025 single “Poison In My Well” and earned an Emerging Act Of The Year nod from the Americana Music Association in 2025.

Vince Gill has released the sixth EP in his 50 Years From Home series. End Of The Night is out today (April 10) via MCA.

The seven track project features writing credits from Jordan Fletcher, Liz Rose, Barry Dean, HARDY and more. The project was produced by Gill at his home studio near Nashville, with engineers Justin Niebank and Matt Rausch and a core group of musicians that includes Franklin, guitarists Jedd Hughes and Tom Bukovac, bassist Jimmie Lee Sloas, keyboardists Gordon Mote and John Jarvis, and drummer Fred Eltringham.

Penned with Jason Nix and Driver Williams, “What I Love About Love” features a duet with Gill’s longtime friends, Lady A.

“I remember when we first started working on it, I said, ‘This reminds me of a Lady A song,’ and they were kind enough to come in and make it pretty cool. We had a ball,” Gill shares

“We are lifelong fans of Vince Gill,” adds Lady A’s Hillary Scott. “I’ll never forget hearing this song for the first time on Vince’s iPhone speaker backstage in Nashville last fall when he shared it with us. Being asked to be a part of this project is truly humbling and an unforgettable experience.”
