Country music superstar Morgan Wallen will transform Neyland Stadium into Knoxville’s biggest concert venue tonight and Sunday.
If you’re attending the concert, you can’t arrive on campus until 2 p.m. and you won’t be able to enter the buildings on campus , but that shouldn’t be a problem.
The Volunteer Club is hosting a paid tailgate on campus, or there’s a free pre-show party 1-3 p.m. at Yee-Haw Brewing Company . Both events will happen on Sunday, Sept. 22, too.
For those avoiding setlist spoilers , there are plenty of ways to kill time before the doors at Neyland Stadium open at 4:30 p.m. There are restaurants downtown, the East Tennessee History Center or shops near Market Square to wander around beforehand.
In between those concerts, the 24th annual HoLa Festival will be 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday. The festival celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month in World’s Fair Park. The festival will have food, craft vendors and live music followed by fireworks at 9 p.m. It costs $3 to enter unless you’re a HoLa member.
