Morgan Wallen shared a video message with his fans who have purchased tickets for his One Night At A Time Tour. He didn't share the video to social media at this time, but one of his fans shared it on TikTok. You can see the message here.

In it, he says, "I just wanted to thank you personally and give you an opportunity to have something cool at the same time. And let you know that I'm working. I'm taking a little bit of time for myself, but I'm working also. I can't wait to get back out there and see y'all at some point next year."

He hasn't said what it is that he's working on; it could be preparation for a tour. Or, of course, it could be new music.

"Some point next year" likely refers to the Sand In My Boots festival, which will take place from May 16 - May 18 at Gulf Shores, Alabama. The new three-day festival and beach vacation, curated by Wallen, will host headliners Post Malone, Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, and Wallen himself.

Other artists on the bill will include pop artists who have shown their love for country Post Malone and Diplo. The lineup also includes hip-hop stars T-Pain, Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz and Three 6 Mafia, indie rockers The War On Drugs and Future Islands, and straight-ahead rock band 3 Doors Down. And course, the lineup will have plenty of country acts including Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, Riley Green, Chase Rice, ERNEST, Ian Munsick, Nate Smith, Ella Langley, Paul Cauthen, Kameron Marlowe, Josh Ross, Morgan Wade, Hailey Whitters, Lauren Watkins, John Morgan and Laci Kaye Booth. The event is already sold out, but you can join the waiting list for passes on the festival's official website.
