Five people agreed to walk out with Morgan Wallen at his Las Vegas stadium show. None of them showed up.
During his May 1 performance at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the first of two scheduled nights, Wallen told the crowd exactly what had happened. "Y'all got some flaky a— people in this town," he said, according to fan-captured footage. "I had like five different people lined up to do the walkout and they all bailed on me last minute."
Who those five people were remains unknown. Wallen's representatives had not responded to Billboard's request for comment at the time of publication.
The walkout has become one of the signature rituals of Wallen's live shows. Since 2024, he has entered venues alongside a celebrity guest to the sound of "Broadway Girls," the 2022 Lil Durk track featuring Wallen. What began as a simple jumbotron entrance has grown into a heavily produced moment, with guests ranging from Drake and Kid Rock to Patrick Mahomes and Barry Bonds.
When Wallen last played Allegiant Stadium in 2024, Tom Brady and Mike Tyson walked out with him. Las Vegas, in other words, has not been short on famous faces willing to participate. Friday night was a different story.
Wallen's Still the Problem tour launched April 10 in Minneapolis and is working through a run of major U.S. stadiums, including stops in Indianapolis, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, and Pittsburgh. He is playing two nights in most cities and will also perform at Florida's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and Michigan's Michigan Stadium, two of college football's largest venues.
The tour is named for his I'm The Problem album, released in May 2025, which spent 13 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 200. The 19-time Billboard Music Awards winner is bringing a rotating group of openers including Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, Ella Langley, and Thomas Rhett.
His second Las Vegas show was scheduled for Saturday, May 2.
