Riley Green just announced his 2024 Ain’t My Last Rodeo Tour with special guests Tracy Lawrence and Ella Langley.
The 33-city tour, which will visit arena and amphitheater stages across the country, kicks off on February 22, 2024, and runs through June 1, 2024.
“Ain’t My Last Rodeo is inspired by what I know best: hard work, life outdoors and family and it’s going to be fun adding these new songs to our full set,” Green shared in a statement. “I’ve been a fan of Tracy Lawrence since I was a kid so I’m looking forward to having him out with us and watching the fans singing along to all his hits. I also really love what Ella Langley is doing –it’s going to be a great time all around.”
Fans hoping to score tickets to see the multi-platinum-selling artist live will have access to the artist presale beginning Tuesday, September 12 and the general public on-sale on Friday, September 15.
The tour comes in support of Green’s highly anticipated new album, Ain’t My Last Rodeo, set for release on October 13 via BMLG Records.
The forthcoming 12-track album is set to showcase melodies and lyrics deeply rooted in Green’s upbringing in a small Alabama town. By celebrating rural lifestyle and Alabama influences, the country artist invites his fans to experience his journey through the lenses of his personal experiences, values, and love of his family.
The album‘s title, “Ain’t My Last Rodeo,” derives from the track “My Last Rodeo,” which holds a special place on the record. This song carries significant emotional weight as it was solely penned by Green and emerged from one of his last conversations with his late grandfather, Buford, during a hospital stay. Buford Green played an instrumental role in shaping the music career of the singer/songwriter, nurturing his musical education and fostering his love for the outdoors.
“I was fortunate enough to grow up within about three miles of my grandparents, so they were a huge part of my growing up and who I am—and this album is a lot of who I am,” Riley Green shared in a press release. “This is really the first time I was able to really take my time, write and record songs that really felt like a cohesive album—I’m really proud of it and want to thank the fans for all of their encouragement—I hope y’all enjoy it.”
Riley Green is currently at country radio with his latest single, “Different ‘Round Here (Ft. Luke Combs).” The track was most-added at country radio upon its release and continues to climb the charts.
