Coming fresh off his new 37-track album, “I’m The Problem,” Morgan Wallen wasted no time performing his long-awaited songs live during the Sand In My Boots Festival. The fan-favorite event took place in Gulf Shores, Alabama, where Wallen debuted seven brand-new tracks from the album.
As expected, fans sang along word for word, having already memorized the lyrics, as Wallen closed out the sold-out festival on May 18. This marked his first official headlining show of 2025 and came just days after the album’s release on May 16. Within hours, “I’m The Problem” became the most-streamed country album of the year on Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music.
‘Just In Case’
As he does at every show, Wallen made a memorable return to the stage by performing “Broadway Girls,” walking out with his team to greet the crowd and excite fans watching on the big screen. With over 40,000 fans singing back to him, the event held special significance since it was a festival he helped create.
He went on to perform new tracks, including “Superman,” “Just In Case,” “I’m The Problem,” “Don’t We,” and “Kick Myself.” He also delighted the crowd with fan favorites like “Whiskey Glasses” and “You Proof.”
Wallen was joined on stage by two country music guests: ERNEST, who performed their hit “Cowgirls,” and Bailey Zimmerman, who joined him for their 5x Platinum single “Up Down.”
A Packed Crowd For Wallen
Other headliners at the festival included Brooks & Dunn and Post Malone, who collaborated with Wallen on a song from “I’m The Problem.” Additional performers were HARDY, Riley Green, Diplo, T-Pain, Ian Munsick, Nate Smith, Morgan Wade, Lauren Watkins, Ella Langley, and more.
The festival comes as fans eagerly await Wallen’s 2025 tour of the same name as the album. Joining him on tour will be newcomers and country legends alike, including Miranda Lambert, Joe Watts, Langley, Brooks & Dunn, Gavin DeGraw, Corey Kent, and Thomas Rhett. Wallen is also preparing for a one-night show at London’s Roundhouse on May 28.
