Morgan Wallen is closing out the biggest stretch of his Still the Problem Tour with two nights in Death Valley — and if there’s one tradition Wallen fans live for, it’s the walk-out. So who’s most likely to stroll out alongside him when he takes over Clemson Memorial Stadium on June 26 and 27, 2026?
There are really two questions here: who’s joining him on stage to sing, and who’s making that grand pre-show entrance. Let’s break down both — because Clemson is set up for some serious surprises.
The Confirmed Clemson Lineup
First, the locks. The openers for both nights are already set, and they rotate — which is exactly why so many fans are buying tickets to both shows.
Friday, June 26 features country legends Brooks & Dunn, rising firebrand Gavin Adcock, and Jason Scott & The High Heat. Saturday, June 27 swaps in Ella Langley for Brooks & Dunn, with Adcock and Jason Scott returning.
That rotation matters, because Wallen’s on-stage guests this tour have followed a very predictable pattern based on who’s opening.
Most Likely On-Stage Guest: Gavin Adcock
Since Gavin Adcock is on the bill both nights, he’s the safest bet in Clemson. All tour long, Wallen has pulled Adcock out for the rowdy, uptempo anthem “Up Down,” usually alongside Vincent Mason.
Adcock is also a South Carolina-adjacent favorite with a rabid Southern fanbase, so a Death Valley crowd will absolutely roar when he reappears mid-set. Pencil him in for both nights.
Saturday’s Sure Thing: Ella Langley
If you’re going Saturday, keep your eyes peeled for Ella Langley. Whenever Langley has been on the bill in 2026, Wallen has joined her on stage for their stellar duet “I Can’t Love You Anymore.”
It’s one of the most-streamed country collaborations of the year, and hearing it live in a packed stadium is a genuine moment. Saturday, June 27 is the one to circle for this one.
The Legends Factor: Brooks & Dunn
Friday’s crowd gets something different. Brooks & Dunn don’t have a current Wallen duet in heavy rotation, but they’re stadium-singalong royalty — “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” and “Neon Moon” basically built the modern country concert.
Don’t be shocked if Wallen brings Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn back out for a surprise classic, or simply gives them a shoutout mid-set. With legends like that in the building, anything’s possible.
The Wild Card: A Surprise A-Lister at the Walk-Out
Here’s where it gets fun. Wallen’s actual walk-out — his triumphant march toward the stage — has become a tour highlight, and he’s been bringing out A-listers from sports, comedy, and music all year. On opening night in Minneapolis, he strode out alongside an NFL Hall of Famer.
So who fits in Clemson? This is Death Valley — one of the most sacred sites in college football. The smart money says Wallen leans into the venue with a Clemson sports legend.
Why a Clemson Football Icon Makes Perfect Sense
Clemson football is woven into this stadium’s DNA, and Wallen loves playing to the room. The most obvious headliner would be Dabo Swinney, the program’s all-time winningest coach and one of the most charismatic figures in the sport — a walk-out with Dabo would send the place into orbit.
But the deeper bench is loaded too. Clemson has produced NFL stars like Trevor Lawrence, Deshaun Watson, and DeAndre Hopkins, plus Super Bowl champion Hunter Renfrow. Any one of them walking out to a stadium full of Tigers fans would be the kind of moment that goes instantly viral — and Wallen knows it.
For the singing, the safest bets are Gavin Adcock both nights and Ella Langley on Saturday, with Brooks & Dunn as Friday’s legend wildcard. For the walk-out, expect Wallen to tap into Clemson’s football glory — a Tiger great strolling out at Death Valley would be the perfect exclamation point on this stretch of the tour.
However, Wallen does not always have a walkout, and if his show in Chicago (the third-largest city in the U.S. full of sports legend) doesn’t tell you anything, he just walked out with a retired Bears star and nobody the next night, then be careful. Don’t always get your hopes up. But with Clemson, we can pretty safely say a football icon at least one night is a good bet.
Either way, both nights are shaping up to be unforgettable. And if any surprise guests do show up, we’ll update this post — so bookmark it and check back.
