Morgan Wallen hopes for comeback with Denver arena concert

The country music star is aiming for a comeback after not touring in 2021 following a scandal.

DENVER — Country musician Morgan Wallen has announced a 46-date arena tour, marking his return after facing a scandal earlier in 2021.

"The Dangerous Tour" will begin in February and continue through September.

Wallen will be joined by HARDY and Larry Fleet on the new tour, which includes a stop at Denver's Ball Arena on Thursday, May 12, 2022.

Tickets for the concert are scheduled to go on sale Friday, Dec. 3 at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.com.

A ticket presale begins Thursday, Dec. 2 at 10 a.m. with the password DENVER.

Wallen's "Dangerous: The Double Album" has been a best-seller despite his music being pulled from many country music radio stations.

Wallen also had his record label contract suspended after he was caught on video using a racial slur in February. Wallen apologized for his use of the word.

In October 2020, Wallen was dropped from performing on "Saturday Night Live" after breaking the show's COVID-19 protocols.
