It turns out Morgan Wallen won’t just be headlining the first Camp Randall concert since 1997.
He’ll be headlining the first two concerts at the Madison football stadium.
FPC Live — the Madison-based, Live Nation-backed promoter behind the June 28 Wallen tour stop at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Badgers football stadium — announced Wednesday that a second Wallen show has been added for June 29 due to demand following presale registration.
Miranda Lambert and Ella Langley also will open for Wallen at the second show.
The artist presale opening up on Thursday through Wallen’s website will be applicable for both dates, according to a Facebook post by FPC Live. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday at uwbadgers.com. Ticket prices have yet to be announced.

Wallen made Wisconsin concert history in 2023 as the first artist to headline a Wisconsin stadium for two consecutive nights at American Family Field, the kickoff for one of that year’s top-grossing North American tours.
Now he’ll be the first artist to headline a Wisconsin football stadium for two consecutive nights. Madison is the second market he’s visiting on his “I’m The Problem Tour 2025,” named after his forthcoming fourth album. The title track was released Friday when the tour was announced.
It’s also the first tour to come to Camp Randall since the Rolling Stones played there on their “Bridges to Babylon Tour” in 1997. The Stones were one of just a handful of acts — along with U2, Genesis and Pink Floyd — to headline Camp Randall concerts from 1988 to 1997.
Last summer, alcohol sales were approved for events in the stadium’s general seating areas, which put Camp Randall into consideration for the growing stadium concert business across the country.
Last fall, Coldplay was the first act to announce a Camp Randall concert, a July 19 stop on their “Music of the Spheres World Tour” that, like all the other stops on the blockbuster run this year, is sold out.
