Riley Green Looks Forward to Returning to Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa: ‘It’s a Party!’

Riley Green will kick off 2026 in the sunshine, heading to Moon Palace Resort in Riviera Cancún, Mexico, for the 11th annual Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa.

This will be Green’s second time performing at the beachside festival, and he admits, “It’s a party!”

The “Worst Way” singer is set to headline the first night of Crash My Playa on January 15, closing out a day that also features performances from Chase Matthew, Josh Ross, Tucker Wetmore, and Lauren Watkins.

While also reflecting on his big year of milestones and his partnership with HEYDUDE, Green said he’s looking forward to returning to Crash My Playa for a number of reasons, from the music to the atmosphere and everything in between.

“It’s obviously right after the holidays and everybody’s kind of done with the cold a little bit and they’re ready to go somewhere warm and that certainly is that kind of place,” he shared. “And Luke’s so fun. He’s just a great time no matter where he is, and I think that’s why everybody continues to get on there and play. This festival is just a great time.” 

An avid outdoorsman, Green can often be seen hunting and fishing on social media when he’s off the road, so it’s no surprise he’ll be getting out and about beyond the resort.

“Well, the first time I went I was kind of in and out. So this year I think we may be down there for a few days,” he revealed. “I’m going to definitely try to get offsite and maybe do some fishing or some exploring or something.” 

Green isn’t the only one counting down the days until Crash My Playa. George Birge told us he’s ready to trade “snow for sunshine” for his upcoming CMP performance. The “Cowboy Songs” singer toured with Bryan earlier this year and said he was hoping for an invitation to the festival.

“I was on him all summer. I was like, ‘buddy, you got to have me out,’” the Texas native got his wish and is set to deliver two performances during the four-day event.
