Riley Green is set to honor U.S. service members with three special military performances scheduled for next spring across Japan and Hawaii.
Fittingly announced on Veteran’s Day, the country star will bring live music to sailors, service members, and their families for the following shows in 2026: Kanagawa, Japan at US Navy Base Fleet Yokosuka on March 9th, Naval Air Facility Atsugi on March 10th, and Hickman, Hawaii at Joint Base Pearl Harbor on March 22nd. These performances will be hosted by Navy MWR Entertainment and CAC or authorized base access will be required.
Green has always made it a point to share his pride and appreciation for veterans and active-duty military personnel. He’s done this, not only through his music, but also with the launch of the Buford Bonds Charitable Fund in 2023. This fund supports organizations such as Folds of Honor and other veteran-focused charities by raising awareness and contributions through events including the Buford Bonds Golf Tournament and the Folds Of Honor Rock ‘N Jock Celebrity Softball Game.
When sharing today’s announcement via social media, the Alabama native expressed how much it means to him to give back to service members in this way.
He wrote, “Honored to be able to perform for the heroic men and women of our nation next year at our U.S. Military bases in Japan and Hawaii. Happy Veterans Day to all who have served!”
The news of these military performances come shortly after Green revealed that he will be embarking on his 2026 headlining Cowboy As It Get Tour. This trek will take him to major cities and arenas across the U.S., including Nashville, Alpharetta, Cleveland, Saratoga Springs, Salt Lake City, and Hartford, among others.
Select dates will feature special guests such as Justin Moore, Drake White, Mackenzie Carpenter, Adam Hood, Hannah McFarland, and Zach John King.
Green is also scheduled to perform at next year’s Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA.
This year has been a busy one for Green, to say the least. In the midst of his busy tour schedule, he released his latest project, Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe), an expanded edition of his acclaimed 2024 album that featured six new tracks.
Following this release, he racked up four CMA Award nominations including Single of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year, and Musical Event of the Year. Fans can tune into the coveted award show on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 8/7c on ABC and next day on Hulu to find out if riley Green takes home any trophies this year.
