Riley Green Announces 2026 ‘Cowboy As It Gets’ Tour — A Step Toward Country’s Stadium-Selling Elite

Riley Green is turning the page to a new chapter in 2026.

The 'Change My Mind' hitmaker has officially announced his 2026 Cowboy As It Gets Tour, a 20-date trek that marks the most ambitious headlining run of his career to date.

While Green has steadily built his reputation over the years through high-profile international tours (including his recent sold out UK and Ireland run this month) and high-profile supporting slots, this time he’s stepping into a bigger spotlight.

The venues alone, including a headline show at Nashville's Bridestone Arena, signals that this is more than just another run of shows — it’s the kind of leap that could put him in country music’s next tier of stadium-selling artists.

From Small Venues to Big Stages

Fans who’ve followed Green since his Different 'Round Here-era know how quickly his crowds have grown. In the past five years, he’s gone from support slots to packed headline club shows worldwide, and now the Cowboy As It Gets Tour is raising the stakes again.

The tour is spanning major markets across the U.S., with some of the largest venues of his career. We're talking Amphitheatres, even arenas on some dates. The fact he's headlining the 20,000 capacity Bridgestone in Music City USA with a country staple like Justin Moore as his support is all the proof you need of the symbol Green is becoming.

It's not just fans that are buying in. It's no small matter that Boot Barn are the main partner across his tour for the second year running; "He’s a man whose sincerity is felt not only in his music, but in his character" Isha Nicole, the creative director at the renowned bootseller stated upon announcement of the tour.

If Moore wasn't enough of an addition to an already stellar bill, Green is taking a who's who of country's next stars along for the ride also. Hannah McFarland, Mackenzie Carpenter and Zach John King have all had banner years already in 2025, and they'll be joining Green ready to take 2026 by the horns in some of the biggest venues they've ever played.

Why This Tour Matters for His Career

For Riley Green, this isn’t just another set of shows. It’s a signal to both fan, media, and industry insiders that he’s ready for the next level. In the current wave of stadium-filling country stars — Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Zach Bryan — Green is carving out a lane of his own with a brand built on traditional country roots, small-town storytelling, and an authenticity that resonates deeply with his audience.

This tour feels like the moment Green makes the leap from country sex symbol to true headliner.
