Morgan Wallen canceled the second of two Pittsburgh concerts scheduled for June 5 and 6 at Acrisure Stadium, saying severe weather and strong winds made the show unsafe. The storm heavily hit Western Pennsylvania while Pittsburgh largely escaped, and fans ques
Morgan Wallen stepped onstage June 5 at Acrisure Stadium to a mostly filled stadium, then returned to social media the next afternoon with one line that changed the plans for thousands in Pittsburgh: the June 6 show would not happen.
He didn’t blame the city. He blamed the forecast. And he insisted the decision came after conversations with local officials and his team, with safety at the center of the call.
Wallen had been scheduled to play two shows in Pittsburgh—June 5 and June 6—as part of his “Still the Problem Tour” following last year’s release of his hit album “I’m the Problem.” By the afternoon of June 6. he announced the second concert was canceled because of severe adverse weather conditions expected through the rest of the day and night.
“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,” Wallen said.
“Safety for my fans and crew is the highest priority.”
Ticket refunds were made available at the point of purchase, according to TribLIVE reporting.
The Pittsburgh storm didn’t hit like the forecast
The cancellation immediately collided with what many fans saw on June 6. Storms pummeled much of Western Pennsylvania. leaving thousands in Washington. Allegheny. Westmoreland. Fayette and Greene counties without power through the weekend. Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 reported. Yet Pittsburgh itself largely avoided the worst of it.
TribLIVE reported that the North Shore experienced rain during the afternoon but avoided harsher conditions.
That mismatch—severe weather across much of the region, but relatively lighter conditions in Pittsburgh—sparked doubts about Wallen’s reasoning.
Rumors swirled after the previous night
Some fans questioned whether the cancellation was really about the weather at all. pointing to rumors tied to the previous night’s concert. Rolling Stone reported fans questioned if Wallen had canceled because of an earlier incident in which he allegedly threw a security guard’s phone and threw the device into the crowd.
Wallen dismissed those claims.
“I’ve been seeing a lot of nonsense about me that is simply not true, and I just wanted to clear the air,” Wallen said in a Saturday night post to his Instagram story.
“I think my true fans know that’s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it.”
His explanation for the decision
Wallen then offered a more detailed version of how the June 6 call was made.
“This morning. my team walked on my bus. told me that they had been consulting with local officials. and that I should cancel my show in Pittsburgh (Saturday night). ” Wallen said on his Instagram story. “And I said. ‘Why?’ They said that there was gonna be strong winds in the area. and I said. ‘OK.’ So that’s what I did.”.
Wallen added that he understood the winds hadn’t impacted Pittsburgh, but he said his “heart goes out” to everyone in Western Pennsylvania who had been affected by the storm.
“The truth of the matter is, I have a large stage and in those conditions, it could become fatal to a lot of folks around it,” Wallen said.
“So I did the best I could with the information I had in that moment.”
The decision landed in a region still recovering from the storm’s damage, power outages and disruption, even as Pittsburgh itself was spared.
What’s next for Wallen in Pennsylvania
Despite the cancelled June 6 show, Wallen is scheduled to return to Pennsylvania for two more concerts as part of his “Still the Problem Tour.” The dates listed begin in Philadelphia:
July 31, 2026 – Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia – Get tickets starting at $191
August 1, 2026 – Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia – Get tickets starting at $247
The broader tour schedule includes dates in other states as well. starting with June 19 and June 20. 2026 at Soldier Field in Chicago. and continuing through July and August across venues including Clemson Memorial Stadium in Clemson. S.C. M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. and Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. Mich.
The cancelled Pittsburgh night is now part of a larger timeline—one where Wallen says he acted on wind warnings and safety calculations, while fans point to what they experienced as the storm largely bypassed the city.
