Country music star Morgan Wallen is scheduled to perform at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida on October 21st, 2023 as part of his Dangerous Tour. This concert is highly anticipated by Wallen’s fans in the Tampa area who are eager to see the singer live after his meteoric rise to fame over the past few years.
Wallen burst onto the country music scene in 2018 with his debut album “If I Know Me” which featured his breakout single “Up Down” featuring Florida Georgia Line. However, it was his follow up album “Dangerous: The Double Album” released in 2021 that truly launched Wallen into superstardom. The album spent 10 consecutive weeks at number one on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, breaking chart records and making Wallen one of the hottest acts in music today.
Now on his Dangerous Tour playing arenas and amphitheaters across North America, Tampa is one of the lucky cities to host Wallen on his tour. For fans wondering exactly where the concert will be held in Tampa, here is a closer look at the venue location and details.
