Morgan Wallen cancels second Pittsburgh show amid threat of inclement weather
With the threat of severe weather tonight in the Pittsburgh area, the second of two Morgan Wallen shows scheduled to take place at Acrisure Stadium has been canceled.
According to a post on Instagram by Wallen, the decision was made in consultation with multiple parties.
"After talking with local officials and my team, there is no choice but to cancel tonight's show due to severe adverse weather conditions expected throughout the rest of the day and night," the post read. "Safety for my fans and crew is the highest priority. Refunds available at point of purchase."
Wallen played his first show on Friday night at Acrisure Stadium, which saw local legend, former WWE superstar, and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle join him on stage.
