RILEY GREEN SETS 2026 'COWBOY AS IT GETS' ARENA TOUR
Country music star Riley Green announced his highly anticipated "Cowboy As It Gets" tour, set to kick off in April 2026 and run for 20 dates across the United States. The tour, produced by Live Nation, will feature Green headlining some of the country's most iconic venues, including Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
The tour is a testament to Green's growing popularity and his ability to connect with audiences through his authentic country sound. "We're going to go into the studio this fall and probably release new music between now and then, and then try to have the whole album out around the time the tour starts," Green told Billboard in an interview from London, where he was playing sold-out shows at the O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Green's decision to release new music before the tour is a strategic move that allows him to test the waters with his fans and gauge their reaction to new material. "It's so great to be able to play the songs on the road and see what songs raise their hands as potential singles," he said.
The "Cowboy As It Gets" tour will kick off on April 16 at the Landers Center in Southaven, Mississippi, and conclude on August 22 at the Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Fork, North Dakota. The tour is sponsored by Boot Barn and promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans of country music.

The "Cowboy As It Gets" tour is a testament to Green's dedication to his craft and his commitment to delivering high-energy performances that leave fans wanting more. With new music on the horizon, fans can expect an unforgettable experience as Green takes the stage in 2026.
