Miami, Florida – Anticipation is reaching a fever pitch among country music fans as speculation mounts that superstar Morgan Wallen may perform the live debut of his track ‘Miami’ during his highly anticipated concerts in Miami this weekend. The shows are currently scheduled for either July 11th or July 12th, adding an extra layer of excitement and potential for a location-specific musical moment.
The possibility of the debut performance in the city that shares the song’s name stems directly from recent updates to Wallen’s publicly available setlist. According to the updated 2025 ‘I’m the Problem’ Tour setlist, which is accessible via the Apple Music platform, ‘Miami’ has been included, signaling its readiness for live performance.
The Significance of ‘Miami’ in the Setlist
The inclusion of ‘Miami’ on the tour’s prospective setlist, especially ahead of performances in the song’s namesake city, has not gone unnoticed by the artist’s dedicated fanbase and industry observers alike. While setlists can evolve and are often subject to change, placing ‘Miami’ on the updated list specifically before these high-profile dates in South Florida suggests a deliberate strategic choice, potentially designed to amplify the connection between the song and the live experience.
Morgan Wallen’s ‘I’m the Problem’ Tour has been a massive commercial success, playing to sold-out crowds across the globe. The structure of the tour and the selection of songs often reflect both chart performance and fan favorites. The addition of ‘Miami’ indicates it is being considered for rotation or even a permanent spot in the live show lineup as the tour looks ahead to 2025.
Fan Hopes and Remix Speculation
Beyond the live debut of the original track, fans have expressed strong hopes for a potential remix of ‘Miami.’ This speculation is particularly centered on the possibility of a version featuring a rapper, adding a hip-hop element to the country tune. The name most frequently mentioned in connection with this desired collaboration is BigXthaPlug.
This specific artist is not a random choice. Wallen himself previously indicated that BigXthaPlug was intended to be featured on the original version of ‘Miami.’ While that collaboration did not materialize on the released track, the artist’s prior comments have fueled fan speculation and hope that the Miami concerts could serve as the perfect occasion to unveil a remixed version, perhaps even with BigXthaPlug making a surprise appearance.
The prospect of a country-hip-hop crossover track debuting or being performed live in Miami, a city known for its diverse musical landscape, adds another dimension to the anticipation surrounding the weekend’s events. Such a collaboration could signify evolving trends in popular music and Wallen’s willingness to explore different sonic territories.
A History of Surprise Guests
Adding to the excitement is Wallen’s established track record of incorporating surprise guests into his live performances. While specific surprises are closely guarded secrets, Wallen is known for bringing out other artists and notable figures, often during his pre-show “walkouts” or during the main set.
These surprise appearances have become a notable feature of the ‘I’m the Problem’ Tour, generating significant social media buzz and providing unique, memorable moments for concertgoers. Past high-profile guests who have joined Wallen on stage include Canadian superstar Drake, who surprised fans during a Toronto show, and former NFL quarterback Brett Favre, who made an appearance at a concert in Mississippi.
This history of unexpected collaborations and guest spots has set a precedent, leading to heightened expectations for his shows, particularly in major metropolitan areas known for attracting celebrities and cultural figures.
Anticipation for A-List Appearances in Miami
Given Wallen’s propensity for surprise guests and Miami’s status as a global hub for entertainment and culture, there is considerable anticipation for potential A-list guests to appear during the shows on July 11th or 12th. While no specific names have been confirmed or even credibly rumored, the possibility of a major artist or figure joining Wallen on stage remains a significant talking point among fans and media.
The convergence of a potential song debut in its namesake city, the hope for a highly anticipated remix featuring a specific rapper Wallen previously mentioned, and the established pattern of high-profile surprise guests creates a fertile ground for significant news out of the Miami dates.
The Weekend Ahead
As the dates of July 11th and 12th draw nearer, all eyes are on Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, where Wallen is scheduled to perform. Whether the ‘Miami’ song sees its live premiere, if BigXthaPlug or another artist joins him for a remix or other performance, or if other A-list guests make unexpected appearances, the weekend promises to be a major event for country music and potentially beyond.
The outcome of the Miami concerts could influence the trajectory of the ‘I’m the Problem’ Tour setlist for 2025 and potentially signal future recording collaborations for Wallen. Fans attending the shows are advised to be ready for the unexpected, as Wallen’s performances have consistently delivered surprises.
