Country singer Morgan Wallen, who competed in the sixth season of The Voice, will play the Coast Coliseum next year.

The Dangerous Tour live with special guest Hardy & Larry Fleet will be in Biloxi March 3, the Coliseum announced on Facebook Monday morning.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 19. Prices start at $136.

He is best known for his songs “Sand in My Boots,” “7 Summers,” “More Than My Hometown” and “Wasted on You.”

Wallen faced a slew of controversy in 2020 after he was caught on camera using a racial slur in February. He apologized after he was suspended from his record label and pulled from many radio stations throughout the U.S.

Wallen revealed he briefly checked into a rehab facility after the video surfaced.

His album “Dangerous,” went on to be the most popular album of 2021.

More than 30,000 people attended Wallen’s recent concert in the Mobile area.
