Morgan Wallen Announces ‘One Night At A Time World Tour’ Will Visit Auckland
Morgan Wallen, US country music star, announces 2023 One Night At A Time World Tour.
Morgan Wallen admittedly treats his tours like an athlete approaching a new season, so when the East Tennessean wrapped his wildly successful 55-city Dangerous Tour on Oct. 8, no one expected he’d come with a line-up of more shows this soon. Yet, the ACM Milestone Award Winner and only country artist nominated for Pollstar’s Major Tour of the Year award revealed this morning he’s not only expanding the size of the venues he’s playing, he’s traveling around the globe to see his fans in 2023!
Morgan Wallen’s One Night At A Time World Tour kicks off at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Wednesday 15 March, before stopping at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Tuesday 21 March and Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Friday 24 March. A huge run of North American dates follows, with a star-studded line-up featuring HARDY, Ernest and Bailey Zimmerman supporting across all Antipodean dates.
All four artists will also take the stage at CMC Rocks QLD’s sold out 2023 event between Friday 17 and Sunday 19 March.
Wallen named his tour after one-of-three just-released new songs on his One Thing At A Time – Sampler: ‘One Thing At A Time’, ‘Tennessee Fan’ paying homage to Wallen’s East Tennessee upbringing; and ‘Days That End In Why’. Together, these three songs serve as the first taste of what’s to come from his time in the studio and arrive on the heels of his new single at Country radio, ‘Thought You Should Know’, cowritten with Miranda Lambert and Nicolle Galyon, currently sitting in the US Top 20 as his latest No.1 ‘You Proof’ returns to the top of the charts for a rare sixth, non-consecutive week atop the US Country Airplay chart.
“Man, what a year 2022 has been with the ‘Dangerous Tour’. I had the time of my life, and I cannot begin to express how grateful I am that my fans connected with the Dangerous album the way they did,” Wallen shares.
“I’ve had so many people ask me if I wanted to take some time off; but the truth is – I have been writing and making so much music in my off-time because I feel as inspired as I ever have. It feels like new songs are pouring out of me, and I love that feeling. We are going to run it back next year with the ‘One Night At A Time World Tour’. Bigger venues. New countries. Bigger memories. See y’all there.”
As one of the biggest artists in the world with Dangerous continuing to notch historical chart status as Billboard’s longest running Top 10 album in history for a solo artist (eclipsing Adele’s 21 and Bruce Springsteen’s Born In The USA), the 2022 American Music Awards’ Favourite Male Artist and Favourite Country Song winner adds, “Also, I’m not quite done making this new album, so I’m going to keep making it through the holiday break and early January to chase this inspiration. I promise I won’t wait too long to reveal the album details. To hold you over, I’m dropping three new songs today as a sampler of what I’ve been working on. Can’t wait to take it one night at a time in 2023.”
Wallen’s 2022 Dangerous Tour spanned over 50 shows and broke records in 30 venues across the US during its 8-month-long run. Highlights include his historic Globe Life Field show, which became the fastest sell-out in the venue’s history and surpassed attendance records previously held by artists such as Elton John and Lady Gaga, and holding fastest historical sell-outs at 11 venues, while simultaneously breaking attendance records with stops at XFINITY Theatre, AmericanBank Center and Darien Lake Amphitheater.
It’s safe to say that when the One Night At A Time World Tour touches down in March 2023, Morgan Wallen and his all-star line-up are going to raise roofs and set stages across Australia and New Zealand alight. Do not miss this your chance to experience a night of non-stop country music action!

ABOUT MORGAN WALLEN
With over 12.3 billion on-demand streams, multi-platinum certifications and seven chart-toppers at Country radio, it’s no wonder The New Yorker dubbed Morgan Wallen “the most wanted man in country.” His critically-acclaimed, 4x platinum ACM Album of the Year Dangerous: The Double Album (Big Loud/Republic Records) — Wallen’s follow-up to his Double Platinum breakout If I Know Me – topped 2021’s all-genre Billboard 200 Albums year-end chart with 4.1 million units sold earning him 2022 Billboard Awards Country Male Artist top honor while continuing to notch historical chart status as Billboard’s longest running Top 10 album in history for a solo artist (eclipsing Adele’s 21 and Bruce Springsteen’s Born In The USA). Its success sparking an in-demand 55-show THE DANGEROUS TOUR in 2022 that kicked off this February and wrapped in early October, with the superstar’s first headlining stadium show at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX that saw Wallen shattering attendance records previously held by Elton John and Lady Gaga. The east Tennessean’s hit-packed set included “Up Down” (2017), “Whiskey Glasses” (2018), “Chasin’ You” (2019), “More Than My Hometown” (2020), “7 Summers” (2020, named one of Time Magazine’s Best Songs of the Year), “Sand In My Boots” (2021), and his crossover “Wasted On You.” Wallen’s first solo release of 2022, the emotional ballad “Don’t Think Jesus,” timed to Good Friday in honor of its redemptive lyrics, earned a Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 debut and landed atop Billboard Hot Country Songs chart making him the first artist to score three No.1 debuts on the chart (based on airplay, streaming and sales) since its inception. Follow up single “You Proof,” released in mid-May, became Wallen’s fastest chart climber to-date, reaching No. 1 after 14 weeks and remaining at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for six non-consecutive weeks. Working outside the traditional Nashville mainframe with producer Joey Moi, Hits Magazine notes, “Wallen continually colors outside the lines,” adding, in turn “he’s connected to his fans in ways unprecedented for a country star.” Having already taken home New Artist of the Year in 2020, the CMA New Artist Winner also won AMAs fan-voted Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Country Song at 2022’s awards. The east Tennessee superstar and recent ACM Milestone Award recipient shares, “Awards are awesome, but my true measure of success is my fans, who this year I got to see every single night out on the road and will continue to do so for many years to come.” Thanks to nearly 1 million of his fans, $3 for every ticket sold during his 2022 Dangerous Tour has raised nearly $3 million benefitting the Morgan Wallen Foundation which funds causes close to his heart.
