“FGL Fest just became even more of a can’t-miss show with the addition of Dustin Lynch and Riley Green to the lineup,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “Fans will enjoy hit after hit from Riley, Dustin and the headlining Florida Georgia Line during a Fourth of July party at the track that will be remembered for a long time.”
Since his debut with PLATINUM single “Cowboys and Angels,” Lynch has held a steady presence on the Country music charts earning seven #1 hits and four Top 5 albums to date while touring with the genre’s biggest names (Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Brad Paisley). Lynch’s brand new album TULLAHOMA (Broken Bow Records) features back-to-back chart-topping singles “Ridin’ Roads” and “Good Girl,” both of which he co-wrote. Early raves for the project are piling up with Entertainment Tonight proclaiming, “Lynch finds himself reconnecting with his roots and digging deeper into the artist he’s become,” while PEOPLE praises his “sunny, sexy vibe, giving the entire project a feel-good sound.” The Tennessean calls it “some of Lynch’s most personal work,” as Billboard asserts Lynch “finds his lane.”
The Tennessee native is bringing these new songs to the stage on his headline STAY COUNTRY TOUR 2020 through March, and then will join Old Dominion’s WE ARE OLD DOMINION TOUR this spring. Scoring over 1.7 billion total career streams, the Grand Ole Opry member continues to affirm his place as one of Country’s elite stars.

Born in Jacksonville, Alabama, Riley Green was raised on the sounds of traditional Country, Bluegrass and Southern Gospel music. He learned the spirit of songwriting and performing at a young age while spending time with his grandfather, Bufford Green, who ran the Golden Saw Music Hall. Riley Green shared the stage with him and other men of his generation, laying a foundation for the songs he’d craft in the years to come, reflecting on the experiences of a young Southern man trying to find his place in the world.
Green’s 2018 “In A Truck Right Now” EP (BMLG Records) introduced his mixture of outlaw rebellion and respect for tradition across his self-penned four tracks, including his debut No. 1
hit single “There Was This Girl.” His follow-up single “In Love By Now” ascended Country radio from his newly released “Get That Man a Beer” EP (BMLG Records). Released last June, the EP served as a second collection of songs, co-written by Green and produced by Dann Huff, that gave fans a preview of his September 2019 debut album, “Different ‘Round Here.”
Rolling Stone Country, Taste of Country, Whiskey Riff, Sounds Like Nashville and iHeartRadio, among others, have named Green an “Artist to Watch,” in addition to being selected as a CMT “Listen Up Artist” and one of MusicRow’s 2019 “Next Big Things.”
The past year has been a whirlwind of firsts for Green as he was selected to be a member of the Opry’s NextStage Program, fulfilling his childhood dream of performing on the Grand Ole Opry, and made his national TV debut on NBC’s “TODAY,” all while headlining his OUTLAWS LIKE US TOUR, which included multiple sold-out stops. Green was on the road in 2019 with with Brad Paisley’s 2019 WORLD TOUR, with Jon Pardi for his HEARTACHE MEDICATION Tour and on his own for his GET THAT MAN A BEER TOUR.
