Morgan Wallen's inclusion as a headliner is noteworthy after the 28-year-old faced swift backlash after a video of him using a racial slur sparked intense controversy last year.
Following the criticism, the singer apologized for the slur and announced that he had entered rehab. His sophomore album, titled Dangerous: The Double Album, was a 2021 bestseller and gained him re-entry into the public eye.
