Wallen took to social media on Thursday, one day before the album’s release, to announce a free acoustic show at Nashville’s 20,000 capacity Bridgestone Arena. While fans from the surrounding areas swarmed the box office in downtown Nashville to get their free tickets (which were gone within about three hours), it was made clear to Wallen just how in-demand the new music is.
With thousands in the area not able to secure tickets, and millions more not able to attend due to distance, Wallen revealed Friday morning the in-the-round-style, acoustic show will be available for free to all via livestream.
“Since y’all sold out the tickets so quick yesterday, I wanted to make sure all of you had a chance to watch tonight,” he wrote on his socials. “So we will be live-streaming this [the show] on all of my socials tonight.”
The show is set to start at 8:30PM ET / 7:30PM CT and feature an acoustic performance of each one of the 36 tracks that span the highly public ups and downs of Wallen’s professional and personal life over the last three years.
"This record represents the last few years of my life, the highs and the lows," Wallen shared via a press release. "It also brings together the musical influences that have shaped me as an artist – Country, Alternative, and Hip-Hop.”
Those influences appear in many different forms throughout the project from collaborations with Eric Church, HARDY, ERNEST and Morgan’s sister, Ashlyne Wallen, to interpolating The Allman Brothers’ “Midnight Rider” on the track, “Everything I Love,” and Young Thug’s “Lifestyle” on “180 (Lifestyle).”
“I just try to tell it how it is – the good, the bad, the love, the heartbreak,” he said. “That’s all I know how to do. My hope is that this album makes my fans proud; makes ’em laugh, smirk, cry, and think – just like it did for me.”
Experience it all by tuning in to Wallen’s free show tonight via his Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube accounts beginning at 7:30PM CT.
