Country powerhouse Morgan Wallen is taking his connection with fans to a whole new level. Teaming up with SiriusXM, the 19-time Billboard Music Award winner has announced the launch of Morgan Wallen Radio, a brand-new, year-round channel set to debut April 7 on channel 64 and the SiriusXM app.

To mark the occasion, Wallen will kick things off with a rare, intimate live performance at The Pinnacle in Nashville on April 2—offering fans a stripped-down experience ahead of his massive 2026 stadium run.

Even more notably, the channel will be available for free in all SiriusXM-equipped vehicles from April 7 through May 6, giving non-subscribers a chance to explore the platform’s curated, artist-driven programming.

Curated personally by Wallen, Morgan Wallen Radio promises more than just a greatest hits rotation. While fans can expect staples from his chart-dominating catalog, the channel will also spotlight the music that shaped him—ranging from country roots to unexpected influences across genres. Wallen will guide listeners through his world with exclusive commentary, behind-the-scenes insights into his songwriting process, and stories from life on the road as he gears up for his upcoming Still The Problem Tour.

The programming lineup adds even more personality to the channel. “Still The Problem Tour Segments” will bring fans behind the curtain of his stadium shows, offering rehearsal anecdotes, setlist breakdowns, and appearances from bandmates and opening acts. Meanwhile, “808 to 865” will showcase Wallen’s love for hip-hop, featuring his favorite tracks and influences every Saturday night. “One Track At A Time” will highlight his latest musical discoveries, giving listeners a first-hand look at what’s currently inspiring him.

“Listeners can expect to hear a lot of things that I listen to on a day-to-day basis, which is probably a lot different than what most people expect,” Wallen shared. “I’ll be personally curating the music so they’ll get a glimpse into my world.”

SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer, Scott Greenstein, emphasized the significance of the partnership, noting Wallen’s impact on modern music and the platform’s goal of bringing fans closer to the artists they love through exclusive, immersive experiences.

The Nashville performance will serve as both a celebration and a preview. Recorded ahead of the official channel launch, the show will air April 7 at 5:00 PM ET, giving listeners nationwide a front-row seat to a rare, up-close Wallen set. Known for packing out stadiums, the performance at The Pinnacle offers a striking contrast—an intimate setting that few fans get to experience.

The event also continues SiriusXM’s long-running tradition of hosting exclusive concerts that shrink arena-level artists into smaller venues, creating unforgettable moments for subscribers. Previous performers in these coveted sessions include Chris Stapleton, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and Metallica.

The launch of Morgan Wallen Radio further strengthens SiriusXM’s deep ties to country music. The platform has long supported the genre—from breaking new artists through its Highway Finds program to celebrating established icons with dedicated channels. Wallen now joins a roster of artist-led stations that includes Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Kenny Chesney, and Willie Nelson.

As for Wallen himself, his momentum shows no signs of slowing. With over 21 No. 1 singles at country radio, record-breaking runs atop the Billboard charts, and a global fanbase that continues to expand, he remains one of the most dominant forces in music today. His latest album, I’m The Problem, has already produced multiple chart-toppers and reinforced his staying power across genres.

Next up, Wallen will bring that momentum to stadiums across North America with the Still The Problem Tour, kicking off April 10 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The 23-date run will hit major venues—including iconic college football stadiums—cementing his status as one of country music’s biggest live draws. See all dates below.
