Green has been one of country music’s most compelling voices since releasing his self-titled EP in 2018 with Big Machine Label Group. His catalog is filled with the kind of songs that define the genre — the No. 1 PLATINUM hit “There Was This Girl,” the 3x-PLATINUM heart-tugger “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” and his chart-topping collaboration with Thomas Rhett, “Half of Me.” Most recently, Green added a third No. 1 to his name with “Different ‘Round Here (feat. Luke Combs),” a reimagined version of the title track from his 2019 debut album that Combs himself jumped at the chance to be a part of after seeing how deeply fans had connected to it. Green was recently added to the lineup of coaches on NBC’s hit show The Voice premiering this September.
An avid sports fan and former Jacksonville State University quarterback, Green is as authentic as they come; a good ol’ boy who still calls Jacksonville, Alabama home. That realness is at the core of everything he does, from his relatable songwriting to his connection with fans who pack arenas night after night. In 2023, Green served as direct support for Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, performing to an average of 65,000 fans per night before wrapping his own headlining Ain’t My Last Rodeo Tour with Tracy Lawrence and Ella Langley in tow.
Named the Academy of Country Music’s 2020 New Male Artist of the Year, a former MusicRow Breakout Artist of the Year, and a CMT “Listen Up Artist,” Green is currently riding one of the hottest streaks in country music. His third studio album, Don’t Mind If I Do, produced by Dann Huff and released on his birthday, October 18, arrived as a confident, 18-track statement. The album features five tracks solely written by Green, including standouts “Jesus Saves,” “Worst Way,” and the title track, which reunites him with tourmate and duet partner Ella Langley.
One of country music’s fastest-rising stars, Ashley Cooke quickly emerged as one of Country music’s brightest rising stars, earning a No. 1 Country radio hit with the GOLD-certified “your place,” which landed on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a 2024 CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year. Known for her emotionally charged songwriting and high-energy live shows, the ACM and iHeartRadio Award nominee has collaborated with artists including Joe Jonas and Brantley Gilbert while touring alongside Luke Bryan, Kane Brown, Parker McCollum and Jon Pardi. Fresh off international performances at London’s iconic O2 Arena and ahead of her upcoming headline Baby Blues Tour, Cooke continues to build momentum with new music and a rapidly growing global fanbase. Her sophomore self-titled album is set for release on Aug. 14.
The Coors Light Birds Nest doors will open at 3 p.m. with its expanded outdoor patio area featuring live music, outdoor games, entertainment, and various food and beverage offerings. The opening act will take the main stage inside the tent at approximately 6:30 p.m., with Riley Green taking the stage at approximately 8:30 p.m.
The Coors Light Birds Nest is located directly across from the main WM Phoenix Open tournament entrance at 82nd Street and Bell Road. The entertainment venue opens at 3 p.m. and the headline act will wrap up at approximately 10:30 p.m. The Coors Light Birds Nest is a 21-and-over event.
