“I really enjoy this festival; it’s such a fun experience,” Green says.
Riley Green is set to kick off 2026 under the sun at Moon Palace Resort in Riviera Cancún, Mexico, for the 11th annual Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa.
This marks Green’s second appearance at the beachfront festival, and he enthusiastically calls it “a party!”
The “Worst Way” singer will headline the opening night on January 15, wrapping up a day that also features performances from Chase Matthew, Josh Ross, Tucker Wetmore, and Lauren Watkins.
Reflecting on his milestone-filled year and his collaboration with HEYDUDE, Green says he’s eager to return to Crash My Playa for multiple reasons, from the music and vibe to the overall experience.
“It’s right after the holidays, and people are ready to escape the cold and soak up some sun. That’s exactly the kind of place this is,” he explained. “Luke is just a blast—he brings the fun wherever he goes, which is why everyone keeps coming back. This festival is always a great time.”
A devoted outdoorsman, Green frequently shares hunting and fishing adventures on social media, so it’s no surprise he plans to explore beyond the resort this year.
“The first time I was kind of in and out, but this time I think we’ll stay a few days,” he said. “I’m hoping to get out and maybe do some fishing or some exploring while I’m there.”
Green isn’t the only artist excited for the festival. George Birge shared that he’s ready to swap “snow for sunshine” during his upcoming Crash My Playa appearances. The Texas singer, who toured with Bryan earlier this year, had been hoping for an invitation.
“I was on him all summer, like, ‘Buddy, you’ve got to have me out,’” Birge said. He’ll now perform twice during the four-day event.
Other artists scheduled to take the stage include The Castellows, Kameron Marlowe, Dustin Lynch, Priscilla Block, Dierks Bentley, and Parker McCollum.
