Riley Green Tour 2027

Inside Riley Green

Riley Green is the Jacksonville, Alabama-bred country singer-songwriter who walked off a Jacksonville State University football roster and a job in the family construction business to build one of the most distinctive country-rock catalogues to come out of the streaming era — a body of work built on a baritone-leaning honky-tonk voice, country-rock arrangements that pull as much from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Charlie Daniels as from George Strait, and a confessional Alabama-Southern songwriter sensibility that turned "There Was This Girl" into his 2018 debut top-five country radio hit and "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" into the streaming-era country anthem that put him in the headliner conversation entirely on its own. The 2018 debut Different 'Round Here EP — released through Big Machine Records' Nashville Harbor imprint after Green came up through the songwriter rounds at the Bluebird Cafe and the Listening Room — set the early radio template; the 2019 full-length Different 'Round Here debut album extended the run with "In Love by Now" and "I Wish Grandpas Never Died"; and the 2022 follow-up Behind the Bar EP pushed the country-rock sound into the deeper arrangements that defined the Luke Combs co-write and co-feature "Different 'Round Here".

The Luke Combs collaboration "Different 'Round Here" — released in 2023 off Combs's Gettin' Old album — became a streaming and country-radio crossover smash, opening the door for Green to step into stadium-supporting and amphitheater-headlining rooms across multiple North American legs. "Worst Way", the title track off the 2024 Ain't My Last Rodeo album, climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and gave Green his first solo radio chart-topper; "Damn Good Day to Leave" followed it through the radio rotation, and the deeply personal "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" continues to be the catalogue's most-streamed track years after its original release on the Different 'Round Here EP.

ACM New Male Artist of the Year, Big Machine Records label loyalty, a sold-out Ain't My Last Rodeo Tour amphitheater run and a recurring direct-support slot on Luke Combs's World Tour stadium dates have made Green one of the most-watched country-rock crossover headliners of his generation. This page is the landing spot for current Riley Green tour dates, ticket information, setlists and city-specific show information, kept evergreen year-round so it tracks every Ain't My Last Rodeo leg as the routing rolls out from theatres into amphitheaters and arenas through the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland and Australia.

About Riley Green

Riley Duckman Green was born October 18, 1988 in Jacksonville, Alabama — a small Calhoun County town an hour northeast of Birmingham off I-59 — and raised in the same town across multiple generations of his family. His maternal grandfather Bufford Green ran a local mechanic shop, and his paternal grandfather Lendon Green was a small-town musician and bluegrass picker who taught Riley to play the guitar before he hit double digits; both grandfathers feature heavily in the songwriting on Green's catalogue and the 2018 single "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" was written explicitly about losing them.

Green played football at Jacksonville High School and walked on as a quarterback at Jacksonville State University, the same school where Combs played for the Mountain Lions before transferring out — Green's senior college season ended with him moving into the family construction business and working full-time on residential framing jobs around the Birmingham-Anniston corridor. He started playing Wednesday-night writer rounds at Mama's on Main Street and the Pig in Jacksonville on weekends through the early 2010s, posted rough demos to YouTube and Facebook through 2013 and 2014, and moved to Nashville full-time in 2016 after a self-released EP started pulling regional streams through the Alabama and Georgia bar circuit.

Big Machine Records — the Nashville label home of Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line, Brantley Gilbert and Tim McGraw at various points in its history — signed Green to its Nashville Harbor imprint in 2017 after CEO Scott Borchetta caught a Bluebird Cafe round where Green played "There Was This Girl" and "Bury Me in Dixie". The debut Different 'Round Here EP arrived in 2018 with "There Was This Girl" as the lead single; the song climbed to the country radio top five inside six months and made Green a CMT Listen Up artist of the year before his debut full-length had even shipped.

The full-length Different 'Round Here followed in 2019 with "In Love by Now" and "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" extending the radio run; the Behind the Bar EP arrived in 2022 with the country-rock arrangements that defined Green's catalogue moving forward. The Luke Combs co-write and co-feature "Different 'Round Here" — released in June 2023 as a single off Combs's Gettin' Old album — became one of the year's biggest country radio and streaming crossovers, helped push Green into stadium-supporting slots on Combs's World Tour routing, and built the audience that made the 2024 sophomore solo album Ain't My Last Rodeo a top-five debut on Billboard Country Albums.

"Worst Way" — the title track off Ain't My Last Rodeo and Green's first solo No. 1 on Billboard Country Airplay — sealed the headliner status; "Damn Good Day to Leave" followed it through the radio rotation as the second single. The ACM New Male Artist of the Year award (2020), three CMA nominations across New Artist and Music Video categories, Big Machine Records label loyalty through every contract cycle, the recurring direct-support slot on Luke Combs's World Tour, a sold-out Ain't My Last Rodeo Tour amphitheater leg and the country-rock crossover identity Green has built since the Different 'Round Here debut have put him at the front of his generation of male country-rock headliners.

Riley Green tour dates

The current Riley Green touring chapter is the Ain't My Last Rodeo Tour, the rolling amphitheater-and-arena routing he launched after the 2024 sophomore album cycle and has kept on the road across multiple legs since, alongside the recurring direct-support slot on Luke Combs's World Tour stadium dates. The headline routing has scaled from theatres into amphitheaters in the 6,000-to-15,000 cap range — Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Bank of Oklahoma Center in Tulsa, Coastal Credit Union Music Park in Raleigh, Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Walmart AMP in Rogers, Toyota Music Factory in Irving, and Madison Square Garden Theater swings on the East Coast — with a typical headline North American leg running 35 to 45 dates across two or three tour announcements.

The Luke Combs direct-support slot puts Green in front of 65,000 to 75,000 fans on stadium nights at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Lumen Field in Seattle, BC Place in Vancouver, AT&T Stadium in Arlington and Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte — easily the largest rooms of Green's career, and the slot has built the audience for the headline amphitheater on-sales that followed. Sets on the Ain't My Last Rodeo headline routing run a focused 90 to 105 minutes; Green fronts a tight seven-piece road band — dual electric guitars, pedal steel, bass, drums, fiddle and keyboards — and works the catalogue front to back with the country-rock arrangements pushed up in the mix.

Production scales up across legs to a full thrust stage with a vintage-honky-tonk lighting rig pulling neon-and-amber palettes and a small B-stage runway on the bigger amphitheater nights; pyro is used at the "Damn Good Day to Leave" drop. Pricing is mid-market — Green's team has held face value on most amphitheater dates in the $40 to $125 floor-to-lawn range, and the Combs co-headline tour benefits from Combs's publicly-defended fan-friendly pricing across the stadium build.

Support acts rotate by leg and lean heavily on the country-rock and Americana scene Green came up through — Ella Langley, Charles Wesley Godwin, Brent Cobb, Tigirlily Gold, Kameron Marlowe — with a typical two-opener bill running about 90 minutes before Green hits the stage at roughly 9:00 local. The grid above pulls the live schedule directly from Ticketmaster and updates as new Ain't My Last Rodeo Tour and Luke Combs direct-support dates are confirmed.

Riley Green tickets

Riley Green tickets are sold through Ticketmaster as the primary outlet, with secondary inventory on StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats and Ticketmaster's own Face Value Exchange linked from each event card on this page. Amphitheater pricing on the current Ain't My Last Rodeo Tour typically opens with general admission lawn tickets in the $40 to $55 range, reserved-seat pricing at $65 to $95 for pavilion mezzanine, $95 to $145 for orchestra and front-of-stage reserved, and front-of-stage pit packages capped around $200.

Arena pricing on the larger-cap stops runs $45 upper, $75 to $115 lower-bowl reserved, $145 to $200 floor and VIP meet-and-greet packages around $425. The Luke Combs co-headline stadium dates inherit Combs's publicly-defended fan-friendly pricing — $25 to $40 upper bowl, $60 to $95 lower-bowl, $95 to $150 field-level — and Green's direct-support slot is included in the Combs ticket on those nights with no separate ticket required.

Big Machine Records does not yet operate a paid fan club for Green; the Big Cat Records artist mailing list on rileygreen.com is the closest he has to a formal presale channel — sign-ups open the registration window for tour-specific presale codes, which typically drop the Tuesday or Wednesday before the Friday public on-sale. Ticketmaster Verified Fan registration is used on Green's highest-demand on-sales like the Bridgestone Arena and Madison Square Garden Theater dates.

Face Value Exchange is the resale tool Green's team pushes — listings are capped at the original face value and clear directly through Ticketmaster, which keeps secondary-market markup off most amphitheater nights. Dynamic pricing is used sparingly on Green on-sales by Big Machine's strategy.

Riley Green setlist

A current Riley Green setlist runs about twenty to twenty-three songs across 90 to 105 minutes with the band tight and the pacing built around the country-rock singalongs, with a deliberate emotional arc from the up-tempo crowd-warmers through the confessional mid-set into the closing radio hits. The night typically opens with a hard-driving country-rock cut — "Bury Me in Dixie", "Half of Me" or "Ain't My Last Rodeo" — to set the bar-band tone, then settles into the early-radio-hits run "There Was This Girl" and "In Love by Now" early in the set.

The mid-set arc routes through the Behind the Bar and Ain't My Last Rodeo material — "Worst Way" with the pedal-steel arrangement that defined Green's first solo No. 1, the title track "Ain't My Last Rodeo", the radio second-single "Damn Good Day to Leave" — before a deliberately stripped-back acoustic mid-set block built around "I Wish Grandpas Never Died". That song — written explicitly about losing Green's two grandfathers Bufford and Lendon Green — gets the longest reaction of the night on most current legs and has become one of the rare modern country songs sung back at the artist with full-room emotional weight; the acoustic arrangement is deliberately spare, just Green's vocals and an acoustic guitar with the band laying back.

"Different 'Round Here" — the 2023 Luke Combs co-write and crossover hit — lands two-thirds into the set as the country-rock anchor of the back half; Combs walks on as the surprise guest on the routing nights Green is in the same market. The back half routes through the Different 'Round Here debut album material before closing with "Worst Way" or "Damn Good Day to Leave" as the main-set closer depending on the city.

Encore is typically a single track — "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" if he closed on a country-rock cut, or a Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels Band or Randy Travis cover when the city pulls for it. Check setlist.fm after the first night of any new Ain't My Last Rodeo Tour leg for the current run order; fan submissions usually go up within a couple of hours of last call.
