Riley Green Is Looking Forward To 2025 Tour

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

One of the things Riley Green is looking forward to in the New Year is his “Damn Country Music Tour,” which will kick off on March 27 in Abbotsford, BC, Canada, with Ella Langley, Jake Worthington and Erik Dylan. Other acts who will rotate as Riley’s openers on the tour with Ella include Drake White, Channing Wilson, Vincent Mason, Wyatt McCubbin, Lauren Watkins, Preston Cooper, and Mike Ryan. Riley is especially looking forward to being able to incorporate some of his new music into his setlist.

Riley told us in a recent interview, “‘The Damn Country Music Tour’ is my headline tour next year, and Ella’s going out with me, Drake White, Jake Worthington, a lot of artists I’m a big fan of, we’re gonna have out on the road.”

He added, “And it’s just, for me, you know, puttin’ out a brand new record, Don’t Mind If I Do, it’s always great to be able to go and try those new songs in front of live crowds. So that’s what I’m missin’ right now, and lookin’ forward to goin’ and playing those shows and seeing which songs they sing the loudest.”

Green and Langley won their first CMA Award in November for Musical Event of the Year for their collaboration on “You Look Like You Love Me.” They also performed the song on the show.

Riley recently talked about how he came to know Ella and got to work with her on the song. He told us, “Yeah, I’ve been a big fan of Ella Langley for a long time. We met through a mutual friend, and I was kinda in as soon as I heard her voice and her twang and how country she sounded, and also that she loved what I would call traditional country music.”

Green added, “And then also, she’s from Alabama, so I kinda was pullin’ for her anyway. So, I was very fortunate to get her on tour. And ‘You Look Like You Love Me’ happened, which is something I don’t think any of us had any idea about. I heard the song through our mutual friend, and Ella played it for me some, and I wrote a verse for it, and it just became this giant hit song.”
