Riley Green is on fire this year. Five years after going viral with the single “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” the former Division 1 FCS quarterback officially opened Riley Green’s Duck Blind Bar earlier this month. In the midst of celebrating one milestone, Green announced another: His third studio album, Don’t Mind If I Do, drops next month. Apparently, the “There Was This Girl” singer couldn’t let September wrap up without one more bombshell: He will kick off his headlining ‘Damn Country Music’ Tour early next year.

Riley Green Announces Headlining Tour With Nod to “Smokey and the Bandit”
On Wednesday (Sept. 25) morning, Riley Green announced his ‘Damn Country Music’ Tour with a rollicking Smokey and the Bandit parody video. The “If It Wasn’t For Trucks” singer used a CB radio to introduce his opening acts, including Flatland Boy (Erik Dylan) and Young Gun (Vincent Mason.)

“Hey, is that Smoke Show gonna make it? Over,” someone asks. Green grins as the camera pans to show Ella Langley, his “You Look Like You Love Me” partner, sitting beside him in the passenger’s seat.
“You bet your a– I am,” Langley says cheekily into the radio. “Y’all better keep up!”
“Let’s go play some damn country music, y’all,” Green says.
The Damn Country Music Tour kicks off in Canada March 27, 2025, at the Abbotsford Centre in Abbotsford, British Columbia. After six shows in the Great White North, the tour makes its U.S. debut May 1 in Athens, Georgia. Riley Green wraps up on Aug. 23 in Nampa, Idaho.

‘Don’t Mind If I Do’ Coming Oct. 18
Still riding a high from their wildly successful duet “You Look Like You Love Me,” Riley Green and Ella Langley dropped a second collab, “Don’t Mind If I Do,” earlier this month.
The wistful tune serves as the title track to Riley Green’s upcoming third studio album. Don’t Mind If I Do hits the airwaves Oct. 18, Green’s 36th birthday.
The album follows Green’s 2023 record Ain’t My Last Rodeo, which spawned the Luke Combs collab “Different ‘Round Here.”
