People knew what was coming once Wallen said, “…and if you’ve ever had a heartbreak, sing along with me.” He launched right into the bridge, “Line ‘em up, line ‘em up, line ‘em up, line ‘em up” and the crowd went crazy. He introduced the song for about a minute, thanking everyone for supporting him through this song. Wallen seemed to sense the hype building up for the first half of the concert for him to play a particular song. Then, at 9:13 p.m, everyone’s dreams came true. Wallen then slowed things down with “Redneck Love Song”, “Had Me by Halftime” and “If I Know Me”, all of which were from his new album. The bleacher seating was just as energetic as the people in the front though, with a fair amount of people standing as well. Tickets to the up close and personal experience cost $5 more than the grandstand seating in the way back (which I was stuck in). The standing area in front of the stage was full of phones and hands in the air. He screamed, “Harrisonburg, Virginia! What’s goin’ on baby?” He got the crowd rocking early, opening up with “Whatcha Know ‘Bout That,” “Happy Hour” and “The Way I Talk”. Then, Wallen came running on stage with his signature checkered, sleeveless MW tank top. Finally, at 8:47 p.m, three guitarists hit the stage, shredding with smoke pouring out into the audience and strobe lights flashing. They performed some of the songs on their new album including “On The Run”. The Hackens Boys opened, a local band from Bridgewater opened for Wallen. Each song has more than 95 million streams on Spotify. Two of the most well known songs off of the album include “Whiskey Glasses” and “Up Down” featuring Florida Georgia Line. Wallen has racked up 4.5 million listeners a month on Spotify after the release of his latest album “If I Know Me” in April of 2018. After a severe thunderstorm at the Rockingham County Fair on August 13, that left concert-goers soaking, thousands persevered to see up and coming country star Morgan Wallen.
