This was just the first of many stadium concerts by the One Thing at a Time artist. In fact, he sometimes plays to audiences larger than the population of his hometown. When asked about his impact, the artist said it’s still surprising.

“Those kind of stats always blow my mind,” Wallen said during an interview on the All Country Podcast. “Y’all sure you got the right guy, or whatever? But it’s cool, man — it’s awesome for me, for my family, for my team to see the impact you’re making.” 

Wallen thought it was “indescrible” having a big impact, although in the same interview, he detailing his journey from a niche songwriter to an international superstar. He continues to do so in 2023, embarking on his One Night at a Time tour.

Wallen has already performed several One Night at a Time concerts, including those in Sydney and Melbourne. Tickets are still available for select dates, with more information available on Wallen’s website.
