Hold onto your cowboy hats, y’all — Riley Green is officially riding into Texas as a special guest for Opry NextStage Live From Texas, and it’s fixin’ to be one honky-tonk hoedown you do not wanna miss!
The multi-platinum country heartthrob (and 6x ACM Award nominee this year, thank ya very much!) is joining the already boot-scootin’ lineup of rising stars at the third annual Opry NextStage event, goin’ down May 7 at the Lexus Box Garden at Legacy Hall in Plano, TX. And yep — the one and only Jelly Roll is returnin’ as host for the third year in a row, makin’ this a star-studded shindig worthy of a Texas-sized celebration!
Alongside Green, fans will catch performances from the entire Opry NextStage Class of 2025, including: Avery Anna, Chayce Beckham, Dasha, Kaitlin Butts, Kashus Culpepper, Tigirlily Gold and Tucker Wetmore; that’s a whole lotta talent ready to two-step their way into your playlists!
Presented by Tecovas, this boot-stompin’ concert is part of the lead-up to the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, airin’ live on Prime Video on May 8 from nearby Frisco, TX. Consider this your pre-party with the next generation of country music stars — and some legends-in-the-makin’.
Launched in 2019, Opry NextStage is the launchpad for country’s rising stars, giving them a lil’ extra spotlight before they explode onto the scene. Past alums include Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, Parker McCollum, Nate Smith, and Wyatt Flores — and together, these trailblazers have racked up 33 No. 1 hits and 43 weeks atop the airplay charts. Talk about country credentials!
Whether you’re a die-hard country cowboy or just gettin’ your boots broken in, this is your chance to see the future of country music — and say you knew ’em before they won their first ACM.
Riley Green is no stranger to the Opry stage — the “There Was This Girl” singer was part of the inaugural Opry NextStage class back in 2019 and has been trailblazin’ ever since. Now, he’s comin’ full circle and bringin’ that Alabama swagger back to help welcome the new class of hitmakers. Talk about a full-circle country comeback!
