As Halloween approaches, we thought we’d get a little costume history from our boy Riley Green. Riley told us he dressed up as a lot of different things as a kid for Halloween. But when we asked him about his favorite costume, a couple of them came to mind.

The handsome country singer said, "I had a buddy in school that was like 5 ‘6″, and I’m like 6 ‘4″, and we did Mario and Luigi one time, and that one sticks out to me."

He added, "Beyond that probably like a Power Rangers. I had this one with the glove that made a “whoosh” thing when you moved it. So, those two probably were my favorites.”

Riley is currently touring Australia:

OCT 30, 2024 - The Fortitude Music Hall -Brisbane, Australia

OCT 31, 2024 -The Fortitude Music Hall - Brisbane, QLD

NOV 2, 2024 - Ridin' Hearts Festival -Sydney Olympic Park, Australia

NOV 3, 2024 - Ridin' Hearts Festival - Melbourne, Australia

Green recently announcedd that he will be launching a new tour on March 27, 2025, which will run through August 23 in the U.S. and Canada, to support his album, Don’t Mind If I Do.

Riley told us of the new tour, "So, my tour is gonna be the 'Damn Country Music Tour' next year. We’re gonna take out Ella Langley – with two songs together, one of them being such a big hit and then the other one, the title track of my album, it seems really fitting to have her back on the tour with me, and I was glad to get her. And Drake White, who’s a great buddy of mine from right down the road."

He added, "I love that we’re gonna have two Alabama artists on tour with me already. And I’m gonna take out a lot of guys and girls that I’m a big fan of, people that I enjoy being around, writers that I like writing with, and try to make this tour."

Green concluded, "As much as 'My Last Rodeo Tour' was a huge step for me, I wanna make this one even bigger, and also wanna make it something that I really enjoy doing because I’m getting to a place now where, you know, I’m not living a life and then going on tours. This is my life, you know? And I wanna try to enjoy it and hopefully make this something that I’ll do for the rest of my life."

Riley released his new album, Don’t Mind If I Do, on October 18th.
