Morgan Wallen canceled his second Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, show on June 6, citing severe adverse weather conditions and safety. He said local officials warned of strong winds. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.
By the time the sun fully came out in Pittsburgh, the moment had already passed—and the question for many concertgoers was no longer about the setlist. It was about why Morgan Wallen’s second Still The Problem Tour stop in the city was canceled at all.
The 33-year-old country singer announced on Saturday, June 6, that he would not perform, telling fans in Instagram Stories that the decision was driven by “severe adverse weather conditions expected throughout the rest of the day and night.” He framed it as a safety call for both fans and crew.
“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 wrote. “Safety for my fans and crew is the highest priority.”
In a follow-up Instagram Stories video, Wallen expanded on how those warnings reached him. He said his team walked on the bus that morning and told him they’d been consulting local officials, and that they should cancel the Pittsburgh concert.
“This morning. my team walked on the bus and told me they had been consulting with local officials and that I should cancel my show in Pittsburgh tonight. and I said. ‘Why?’” the Tennessee native recalled. “They said that there was going to be strong winds in the area. and I said. ‘OK.’ So. that is what I did in that moment. and I trusted my team.”.
He also pointed to the practical reality of what his show can involve. Wallen said the conditions made his stage potentially dangerous.
“A large stage that, in those conditions, could become fatal to a lot of folks around it,” he said, adding that he made the decision based on the information he had at the time.
His explanation came as some fans were left frustrated—especially after the weather cleared. The anger quickly spilled onto social media, with criticism that extended beyond the cancellation itself.
KDKA Radio’s Marty Griffin tweeted that evening, “Breaking news: Outrage over the Morgan Wallen show cancellation! Acrisure stadium officials fuming. Sources confirm… Wallen left town on plane before they even had meeting and demanded they announce the cancellation after he was in the air [sic].”
The online backlash also pulled in a separate incident from one week earlier: the on-stage moment when Wallen flipped over a piano after experiencing technical difficulties. In his Instagram Stories video responding to the growing storm of criticism, Wallen called the reaction “nonsense.”
“I’ve been seeing a lot of nonsense about me that is simply not true, and I just wanted to clear the air,” he explained. “I think my true fans know that that’s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it.”
Even with the disagreement, Wallen told fans what happens next. Refunds would be made available at the point of purchase for those who bought tickets to the canceled June 6 show.
Morgan Wallen Pittsburgh concert cancelled Still The Problem Tour adverse weather conditions strong winds refunds Instagram Stories
Strong winds?? I mean couldn’t they just, like, move it or something.
Refunds at the point of purchase is kinda vague though. Like do I get it back automatically or do I have to chase Ticketmaster? Pittsburgh always gets weird weather anyway.
He said he trusted his team and local officials but honestly it sounds like they waited until the last second. If the sun came out later then why cancel the whole thing? Also “severe adverse weather” is such a catch-all line.
I get safety but the way they word it makes it feel like a PR thing. One of my friends said it was because the venue had already sold out and then “weather” happened, which idk if that’s true. Stadiums have wind rules and stuff so I’m sure there’s a threshold. Still, if you got warnings in the morning why not announce earlier? Now people are stuck trying to figure out refunds and missing work.
