What to know about Morgan Wallen's Madison concerts at Camp Randall Stadium
Morgan Wallen is days away from creating more Wisconsin history. In 2023, the country music star became the first artist to headline a Wisconsin stadium for two consecutive nights when he kicked off the North American leg of his "One Night at a Time" tour at American Family Field. Now, he's going to be the first musical artist to headline a concert at Madison's Camp Randall Stadium in the 21st century, with the stadium's last concert coming in 1997. Here's what to know about Wallen's Madison concerts: When are the Morgan Wallen concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison? Wallen is playing back-to-back nights, June 28 and 29. This means his first concert is going head-to-head with another major Wisconsin music event, the second Saturday of Summerfest, headlined by Megan Thee Stallion with special guest Flo Milli at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater at 7:30 p.m. Camp Randall's gates open at 4:30 p.m. and the concert begins at 6 p.m. both nights. How to get tickets for the Morgan Wallen concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison A limited number of tickets remain for both nights and can be purchased through the University of Wisconsin-Madison official website. You can also buy resale tickets on third-party outlets like Ticketmaster, Vivid Seats and StubHub. Official UW parking passes for both nights are sold out. How much are tickets for the Morgan Wallen concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison? If buying directly through Wisconsin, the cheapest tickets available are $154.75, plus a $34 fee per ticket. The cheapest third-party tickets, as of June 25, are on StubHub for $202, including fees and before taxes. Vivid Seats' cheapest ticket is $213 and Ticketmaster's is $232, both including fees but not taxes. Who is the opener for the Morgan Wallen concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison? Opening for Wallen are Miranda Lambert and Ella Langley. Lambert, a three-time Grammy winner, is very well-known by country music fans. She's the first woman to win the Country Music Association Awards' Album of the Year twice (2010 and 2014). Her duet with Carrie Underwood, "Somethin' Bad," is her highest-charted song at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her highest solo song is "Mama's Broken Heart," which peaked at 20th. Langley is a more up-and-coming artist. She released her first studio album, "Hangover," in 2024, which debuted at No. 77 on the Billboard 200 and 11th on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Her most popular song is the album's lead, 'You Look Like You Love Me,' which debuted at No. 53 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked at 30th. Who is Morgan Wallen? Wallen is one of the most popular artists in country music. In 2024, he had two of the top 10 albums on the year-end Billboard 200 chart — 'One Thing at a Time' and 'Dangerous: The Double Album' — and the fourth-biggest song on the year-end Billboard Hot 100 chart, 'I Had Some Help' with Post Malone. Both of those achievements helped make him entertainer of the year at the Country Music Association Awards. But his path to stardom didn't come without controversy. In 2021, Wallen was caught on camera saying a racial slur, an incident for which he later apologized. Then, in 2024, he pleaded guilty to two counts of reckless endangerment for throwing a chair off a sixth-floor roof of a bar in downtown Nashville and nearly hitting two police officers, resulting in his arrest. Is Morgan Wallen playing anywhere else in Wisconsin this summer? No, Wallen's only trip to Wisconsin is when he comes to Camp Randall. Are there any other concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison this summer? Yes! Wallen may be the first to actually perform at The Camp since 1997, but he was the second performer to announce he was coming to the Wisconsin Badgers football stadium. Coldplay, which hasn't performed in Wisconsin since 2009, will be in Madison for the first time July 19 as a part of its "Music of the Spheres World Tour." In similar fashion to the rest of the tour, tickets quickly sold out.

Dreams on Repeat - Aespa's Journey to Global Stardom and the Power of Not Giving Up
The Spark That Lit Up the Global Stage When Aespa dropped "Dirty Work" on June 27, the energy was electric. Fans across continents held their breath, hoping this would be the moment SM Entertainment's powerhouse group finally broke through to the world's biggest stages. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now From perfectly timed releases to English versions and a collab with American rapper Flo Milli, Aespa's latest comeback wasn't just about music-it was a statement: "We're here, and we're aiming high." For young people who've watched their own stars hustle for recognition, Aespa's journey feels like a familiar story. It's about big dreams, relentless competition, and the hope that this time, things might just be different. More Than Numbers - The Real Battle Is for Hearts Sure, everyone loves to talk about charts, but for Aespa, the real win is the connection with fans. "Dirty Work" created a buzz about possibly landing on a major global chart, but the group's true achievement is building a fandom that stretches from Seoul to Jakarta to New York. Their promotions now embrace multiple languages and cultures, which totally resonates with young people juggling identities and languages every day. Aespa's approach is all about breaking out of comfort zones, much like youth who dream beyond borders. While some K-pop groups are regulars at international festivals, Aespa's journey is just beginning. Their 2022 performance at a major U.S. festival was a bold step, proving you don't have to be first to make a statement. SM Entertainment, the force behind Aespa, has long led the Asian music scene. But with local music scenes booming in places like Indonesia, even K-pop giants have to work harder to stay relevant. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Back in 2017, nearly 90% of K-pop album sales came from Asia. By 2024, that's dropped to 65%. Local artists are rising fast, and the competition is getting fierce. Changing Tunes - The New Face of Pop Aespa isn't just fighting for chart spots-they're up against a music world that's changing fast. SM's latest numbers show that albums and digital music make up about 41% of their revenue, with rookie groups like Hearts2Hearts leading the way. But most of this success is still in Asia. In Indonesia, for example, local music's share of streaming has jumped to 35%, while K-pop's share has slipped from 12% to 8% in just three years. It's a wake-up call: global fame isn't just about catchy songs-it's about understanding what makes people hit "repeat." And yes, for just a moment, Aespa was predicted to enter the Billboard chart-a huge deal for any K-pop act. Even though the spot ultimately went to another artist, the buzz proved how close they are to breaking through.

K-Pop Girl Group Aespa Is Exactly Where They Want to Be
Aespa is all about reinvention. The four-piece girl group, hailing from Korean label SM Entertainment, have been ahead of the curve since their 2020 debut. The group debuted with at-the-time revolutionary concept tied to the metaverse, where every member had a corresponding avatar. But now, approaching five years as a group, Karina, Giselle, Winter and Ningning seemingly feel they've found the Aespa they've always wanted to be. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Action Item' Treats Burnout as "Collective Condition, Silenced Crisis" (Exclusive Karlovy Vary Trailer) Comcast to Sell Sky Deutschland to Bertelsmann's RTL Group 'Squid Game' Finale Ends With Surprise Hollywood Star Cameo 'I think what people think of Aespa, right now, since maybe 2024-ish, I think that's where the image that we were thinking from the beginning started to be shown to the people who see us,' Giselle tells The Hollywood Reporter on a Zoom from SM's Seoul headquarters. Building off the success of their 2024 hits 'Supernova' and 'Whiplash,' Aespa's latest single, 'Dirty Work (Feat. Flo Milli),' is primed to become the group's latest chart-topping hit. 'Dirty Work,' which racked up over 1 million pre-orders ahead of its Friday debut, keeps the sound and soul of Aespa alive but with an added groove that the group hasn't fully explored before. Below, the 'Next Level' singers speak with THR about 'Dirty Work,' their collaboration with Flo Milli and how they've evolved into the group they always saw themselves as. Let's start with 'Dirty Work.' Can you tell me about the release? GISELLE It'll be a single, so we'll have the Korean version, the English version and then we have a featuring version with Flo Milli, which is something we're very excited about. This is one of those songs where when we heard the demo, from the start, we were all just like, 'Wow.' It's a song that we all really, really like, so we're very excited to show you guys, and it's a little more minimal than what we have done recently. It does have a bit of a different feel than some of the music (like 'Whiplash', 'Supernova' or 'Armageddon') that you've been putting out lately. How do you feel it still fits into the sound that you have created for yourselves over the years? GISELLE Well, we're always trying to do something new. With 'Supernova' and 'Armageddon,' the instrumentals in general, not only our vocals, but everything is the opposite of minimalistic, I think. There's a lot of sounds. Same with 'Whiplash,' different genre but similar with a lot of sounds, but more techno. We think 'Dirty Work' is a lot less than that. The teasers that have come out so far, it doesn't really sound like that, but once you hear the actual full song, I think a lot of people will feel the different sounds and how it's a lot more simple. But it has that kind of cool feel to it. What was it like collaborating with Flo Milli? KARINA First of all, we're really happy to collab with a very big artist like Flo Milli. This is our first official collab with another artist, but we'd love to work with artists who inspire us and create something unique together, which made this collaboration with Flo Milli so special. She was able to bring a very fiery edge to the vibe of the song. You've had plenty of success over the last year with your recent releases. Does that add pressure onto you with every release? Or does it motivate you to try new things? WINTER Of course, as much as we receive love from the public, I really do think that I need to feel pressure in a positive way. Rather than feeling pressure in a negative way, feeling it more heavily and [with] more weight, I think this should go in a positive way where we can give positive influence to our fans and to the public and give our messages that we want to send. What was your experience like growing alongside your fans? NINGNING From our debut until now, we kept trying new music. We challenged ourself with new music and concerts; We did a lot of concerts meeting our lovely fans out there. I think we really actually grew up and actually really got better. I'm really happy that when people think of Aespa, we have this distinct color and we keep working to find new colors. Finding our color and specificity in this music scene is making us grow. We are really thankful for our fans who loved [us along] this journey and who grew up with us. How do you feel you've all evolved from when you debuted until now, and how you've been able to do that together as a team? How has that dynamic changed for you guys? KARINA Both as a team and myself, I think with the recent albums, I really got to talk with our company more about music and the album we're making. Also, as a team, we talk with each other, we discuss a lot about music and the color we actually want to show to the public. We constantly try to find and study and offer feedback to each other about what is best on this journey. With these insightful discussions going on, we think the more we talk and discuss, we grow up faster. Our company actually gives us a lot of help as well, so as a team and a person myself, I think communicating would be the best way to grow up. How do you want the world to see Asepa? GISELLE From the start, we had a concept that was just very [specifically] a certain thing. Very AI, very cyber, which was cool, but at the same time, It didn't mesh perfectly well at the start because obviously because we're human. [Laughs]. But as time went by, we released more music, tried new concepts and merged that together. I think what people think of Aespa, right now, since maybe 2024-ish, I think that's where the image that we were thinking from the beginning started to be shown to the people who see us. I can speak for all four of us when I say we did feel that, little by little, as time went by. It's still very new. It's still 2025, and it's going to start now with each member as an individual. From now, we can show people what we think our ideal thing is, but I think that's kind of up to us to be able to show that and be that too. Do you feel the shift just happened over time or did it come from working together for a few years now? GISELLE I think every reason put together made that outcome. I mean, everything that we're saying right now is an opinion, so someone could think completely differently. But I think it was us getting to know each other more as well. Even just being together for a couple of years, that definitely did play a big role. Knowing this kind of vibe suits you and me and blah, blah, blah. And how we portray that on screen as well. Is there a genre or concept you haven't tried yet that you'd like to? NINGNING Since our debut [we've] wanted to try a cute or fresh or cleaner concept. What do you hope for Aespa as a whole or yourselves as performers? GISELLE As a group, obviously we [all started this career] for different reasons, but it's all because of music and [that] we loved performing and all of that. We all wish the best for each other as well, as in our own individual careers as well. I think each member has something in mind, of course, and that would've been what got us started here in the first place. I think our fans haven't seen anything like that yet, obviously, no one has done a big solo project yet, but it will be coming someday we hope.
