The crowd went wild as Green shared the exciting news. “We couldn’t bring everyone out here to celebrate and not share more exciting news with you,” he said with a grin. “My brand-new album Don’t Mind If I Do will be out October 18. It feels fitting that it’s coming out on my birthday because this project feels very true to who I am, where I come from, and what I’ve learned along the way. I can’t wait for y’all to hear it!”

Green’s 18-track collection promises to be a deep dive into his roots, with songs that fans have already been buzzing about. Tracks like “Worst Way” and “Damn Good Day To Leave” are sure to become instant anthems, while “Good Morning From Mexico” and “Jesus Saves” showcase his storytelling prowess. And if that wasn’t enough, the album also features a collaboration with country megastar Luke Bryan on “Reel Problems” and a duet with tour mate Ella Langley on the title track “Don’t Mind If I Do.”

But wait—there’s more! Green teased that a headlining tour is in the works for 2025, hinting that some familiar faces will join him on the road. The full tour details are still under wraps, but we can expect a larger announcement later this month.
