This tour promises an exciting lineup featuring openers Ella Langley, Drake White, and Channing Wilson, creating a vibrant atmosphere for fans.
Green announced the expansion of his tour, stating, "Damn Country Music Tour has crushed so far, so I'm adding some new dates and bringing some of my Alabama friends with me." This sentiment reflects not only his enthusiasm for the tour but also his desire to share the stage with fellow artists who resonate with his musical journey.

Each of these locations will feature varying support from artists like Jamey Johnson, Drake White, and Hannah McFarland, ensuring that fans have a diverse experience at each concert.
The Damn Country Music Tour promotes Green's third studio album, Don't Mind If I Do, which was released in October 2024. The title track has already garnered over 165 million global streams, showcasing Green's growing popularity in the country music scene. Additionally, the album features a duet titled "You Look Like You Love Me" with Ella Langley, which has contributed to Green's impressive five nominations at the upcoming 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, including Song of the Year and Music Event of the Year.
Reflecting on his album and the tour, Green shared, "I learned to play guitar to my granddaddy's favorite country songs from back in the day, and the new album is a throwback to the era when I first became a fan. For this tour, I found some of my favorite artists and songwriters to join us, and singing with Ella every night will be a lot of fun." This personal connection to his music and the artists he collaborates with adds depth to his performances, making them memorable for attendees.
