Morgan Wallen is one of the biggest names in music today. He's controversial and successful, but he may soon be headed for an unexpected stage.

There are a few dates he has lined up in the Midwest, and I get the feeling he might make an unexpected appearance at one of the planet's longest-running, most iconic festivals.

Wallen will be on the West Coast for shows in Santa Clara on Friday, August 1, and Saturday, August 2.

The day before, July 31, is open for Wallen, but he'll be in Seattle the week before, so I believe he won't be making the trek back to the Midwest.

That said, after the August 2 show on a Saturday, Wallen is headed to Ohio for shows in Cleveland.

What if Wallen came to Chicago and played on Sunday night, August 3, to close out Lollapalooza? It's pure speculation right now, but with the lack of Midwest dates, it's entirely possible.

While Lollapalooza is undoubtedly known for its rock, pop, and hip-hop, country acts have made their way to the lineup before, and with Wallen's massive fan base, it's not entirely out of the question for him to join this year's show.
