Morgan Wallen's "Still The Problem Tour" at Acrisure Stadium
The North Shore is going to be packed both Friday and Saturday night as country and pop sensation Morgan Wallen is bringing his "Still The Problem Tour" to Pittsburgh for two sold-out shows at Acrisure Stadium.
Morgan Wallen last played a Pittsburgh show in 2023 when he performed on back-to-back nights at PNC Park.
