See Megan Moroney live in concert at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on August 7, 2026. Expect songs from the "Cloud 9" era, earlier country-pop favorites, plus sets by JP Saxe and Solon Holt. Plan your visit and ticket purchase for a full evening of modern country storytelling
Megan Moroney brings the "Cloud 9" era to Los Angeles
Megan Moroney arrives at Crypto.com Arena with a concert that clearly demonstrates how much her career has changed in just a few years. From her breakthrough with the song "Tennessee Orange" to her first major international arena tour, the American singer-songwriter has built a distinctive blend of modern country, pop melodies and lyrics that turn heartbreak into precise, witty and often highly singable stories.
The concert on Friday, August 7, 2026, begins at 7:00 p.m., and the arena doors open at 6:00 p.m. It is the first of two consecutive Megan Moroney nights at Crypto.com Arena, as the second performance is scheduled for Saturday, August 8. A ticket for August 7 is valid only for that concert date.
The tour’s name, "The Cloud 9 Tour", is directly connected to the third studio album "Cloud 9", released on February 20, 2026. Los Angeles is therefore not getting a retrospective concert by an artist relying only on early hits, but a performance in the middle of her current career phase, featuring new songs that have already become the center of her arena repertoire.
Tickets for this event are currently on sale.
From "Tennessee Orange" to the album "Cloud 9"
Megan Moroney attracted wider attention with the song "Tennessee Orange", a country love story told from the perspective of a girl from Georgia who begins wearing the colors of a sporting rival because of her affection for a young man from Tennessee. The song reached number one on country radio and paved the way for the 2023 debut album "Lucky". Even then, it was clear that her greatest strength was not only her distinctive voice, but also the way she builds a character, a situation and an emotional twist within just a few lines.
On the second album, "Am I Okay?" from 2024, that style became more confident and more accessible to pop audiences. The title track, "No Caller ID" and "I'm Not Pretty" retained their foundation in country storytelling while adding choruses suited to large audiences. The combination of self-irony and vulnerability explains why her concerts easily shift from quiet listening to loud communal singing.
"Cloud 9" continues that development. The album contains 15 songs, including "6 Months Later", "Beautiful Things", "Medicine", "Stupid", "Wish I Didn't" and the title track "Cloud 9". Ed Sheeran appears on the album in the song "I Only Miss You", while Kacey Musgraves is featured on "Bells & Whistles". Most of the album was produced by Kristian Bush, Megan Moroney’s long-time collaborator, while selected songs were produced by Luke Laird and the artist herself.
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Moroney is therefore not coming to Los Angeles as an artist transitioning from clubs to larger venues, but as the headliner of an arena production with two consecutive nights in the same venue.
What "The Cloud 9 Tour" sounds like live
Performances so far have presented a cross-section of all three albums, with an emphasis on "Cloud 9". New songs such as "Stupid", "Medicine", "Table for Two" and "Wish I Didn't" have been performed alongside earlier favorites including "No Caller ID", "I'm Not Pretty", "Am I Okay?" and "Tennessee Orange".
The song order for Los Angeles is not guaranteed, and guest appearances from the album should not be expected without a specific announcement. The repertoire’s value lies in its contrasts: faster, witty choruses alternate with ballads that demand silence in the arena. Moroney also builds her performance around conversations with the audience and the feeling that she is singing the songs to people who know them by heart.
The visual identity of the era is tied to the album’s pink tones, while the musical foundation remains a country band and a rhythm adapted to a large arena. "6 Months Later" offers a cheerful, ironic reckoning with a former relationship, while "Beautiful Things" and "Wedding Dress" provide calmer moments. Such transitions give the concert dynamics without requiring speculation about guests or effects.
Tickets for this event are in demand.
JP Saxe and Solon Holt open the evening
JP Saxe and Solon Holt have been confirmed alongside Megan Moroney. Their presence expands the evening beyond a narrowly defined country program.
JP Saxe is known for piano-driven pop and personal lyrics. His hit "If the World Was Ending", recorded with Julia Michaels, introduced him to a wider audience as an artist who expresses powerful emotions through a simple arrangement and direct vocals.
Solon Holt brings a country sound rooted in gospel music, blues and Southern storytelling. The Los Angeles date is particularly interesting for him because the release of his debut album "songs about you" has been announced for August 7 itself. His set can therefore serve as an introduction to an artist entering a new recording phase, before the evening moves toward JP Saxe’s piano pop and Megan Moroney’s arena performance.
The exact times of the individual performances have not been published on the event page. Visitors who want to hear both opening artists would be wise to arrive before the doors open or no later than 6:00 p.m., rather than planning their arrival around an assumed starting time for the main performance.
Crypto.com Arena as a concert venue
Crypto.com Arena is located in downtown Los Angeles, within the L.A. LIVE complex, at 1111 S. Figueroa Street. The arena opened in 1999 with a concert by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and has since hosted a large number of international performers, awards ceremonies and professional sporting events.
The floor places the audience closest to the stage, but tickets marked "GA FLR" provide access to a standing area without seats. The lower stands offer a balance between proximity and a view of the stage, while the upper levels provide a broader view of the production. The experience depends on the section, so visitors should check the entrance designation and seating level before arriving.
The arena has six levels. Finding a section can take time, so arriving when the doors open leaves enough time for security screening and a relaxed walk to the seat.
Two consecutive nights in Los Angeles make the city one of the more prominent stops on the western portion of the tour. The first concert on Friday is attractive to travelers who want to combine the performance with a weekend in the city, while the additional Saturday date demonstrates the level of interest in Moroney within a major American music market.
It is worth securing tickets in good time.
Arrival, parking and public transportation
The arena is located in Downtown Los Angeles, next to the Los Angeles Convention Center and the facilities of the L.A. LIVE complex. Traffic in the surrounding area can be slow, especially at the end of the working day and before events in the city center. Organizers recommend planning the route in advance and allowing additional time for congestion.
These are the most important practical arrival details:
- The nearest urban rail station is Pico Station. It is served by the A and E lines, and L.A. LIVE is a walk of several blocks from the station.
- Crypto.com Arena operates parking facilities with a total of 3,300 spaces, while more than 10,000 additional spaces are available in private garages and parking lots within approximately seven to ten minutes’ walking distance.
- Lot W and Lot E operate daily from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., while the opening times of other parking facilities are connected to the event’s starting time.
- Designated zones for taxis and ride services are located on Chick Hearn Court and on Figueroa Street between 12th Street and Pico Boulevard.
- Bicycle parking is available in East Garage and on the southern side of the arena next to the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Metrolink and Amtrak bring passengers to Union Station, from where they can continue by urban rail. After the concert, visitors should expect a large number of people to leave the arena at the same time, so groups may find it useful to agree on a meeting point in advance.
Entry rules worth checking
Crypto.com Arena has restrictive bag rules. Backpacks, larger bags, clear bags, waist bags and camera bags are not permitted. Small wallets and clutch bags measuring less than 5 x 9 x 1 inches are permitted, subject to a security inspection. Medical and parenting bags measuring less than 14 x 14 x 6 inches are subject to X-ray screening.
Lockers near the Kobe Bryant Entrance are available to visitors with larger bags, but it is simpler to arrive only with items that fit inside an approved small bag. The rules are particularly important for travelers who explore the city before the concert and may be carrying a larger daypack.
- Prepare the mobile ticket before reaching the security checkpoint and make sure the phone is sufficiently charged.
- Do not bring a laptop or tablet, as they are not permitted inside the arena.
- Outside food and beverages are generally not permitted. The exception is one unopened plastic bottle of water of up to one liter per person or an empty refillable plastic bottle.
- The Kobe Bryant Entrance is used for floor access marked "GA FLR", and after entering, visitors receive a wristband granting access to the floor.
- The main entrances are located at the Kobe Bryant Entrance, Star Plaza Entrance and Figueroa Entrance.
Rules may be adjusted for an individual event, so they should be checked again shortly before departure. The concert page currently lists the doors opening at 6:00 p.m. and the program beginning at 7:00 p.m., but the expected duration of the evening and the time when each performer will appear have not been published.
Los Angeles before and after the concert
The arena’s location allows the concert to be incorporated into a full-day stay in downtown Los Angeles without requiring a long transfer immediately before the performance. L.A. LIVE brings together restaurants, bars, a cinema and other facilities directly next to the arena, while the Los Angeles Convention Center and museum attractions related to sports and music are located nearby.
The city is widely spread out in terms of transportation, so the schedule for the concert day should remain flexible. A distant excursion late in the afternoon can easily lead to a delay because of traffic.
The most comfortable rhythm for the concert evening is to arrive in the L.A. LIVE area earlier, have a meal before entering and take a short walk to the appropriate entrance. This avoids a combination of traffic congestion, searching for parking and security screening immediately before the program begins.
Who will find this concert especially appealing
Long-time fans will hear how songs from the "Lucky" and "Am I Okay?" phases work within a larger production, while audience members who discovered Moroney through "6 Months Later" or "Cloud 9" are arriving at a time when that material forms the center of the repertoire.
The concert is a good choice for fans of contemporary country who appreciate pop choruses but do not want to lose the genre’s storytelling character. With Moroney, the audience is most often connected by recognizing the situation described in a lyric, from unanswered messages to the return of former partners.
The opening performers further broaden the audience profile. JP Saxe brings the evening closer to listeners of emotional piano pop, while Solon Holt introduces a new country voice with a gospel and blues background. The program may therefore also appeal to visitors who have not followed Megan Moroney’s entire discography but enjoy singer-songwriters whose performances rely on lyrics and direct communication.
Final check before departure
On the day of the concert, visitors should check the event status, door-opening time and entry rules again. It is useful to save the mobile ticket before arriving, while passengers using public transportation should check the last departures.
The most important point is not to plan the evening around an assumed time when Megan Moroney will take the stage. The program includes two confirmed opening performers, while the individual performance times have not been published. Arriving by 6:00 p.m. provides the best opportunity to hear the entire evening and enter the arena without unnecessary rushing.
