2025 is already looking to boast quite the full schedule for country hitmaker Riley Green, and he's showing no signs of slowing down just yet.

Within 24 hours of announcing a run of UK and Ireland dates on his celebrated Damn Country Music Tour, the 'Don't Mind If I Do' crooner has also been unveiled as one of the headliners for Summerfest 2025.

The annual event, which is held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and celebrates it's 57th iteration in 2025, will see a smattering of more than 600 artists take its stages across the three weekends – June 19-21, June 26-28 and July 3-5. As the lineup continues to shape up, it's apparent that the second weekend of next year's Summerfest will be the time for some of country and Americana's best and brightest to show what they got amongst the sea of artists and creators that the festival taps from across genre lines.

Set to appear as the headliner on Sunday, June 28, lucky fans will be able to witness Green's calm and cool stagecraft as he offers up beloved songs and bonafide hits from his glistening catalogue, including 'I Wish Grandpas Never Died,' 'Different 'Round Here,' 'There Was This Girl' and more. It's more than likely that the singer-songwriter will also perform a number of highlights from his just-released record, Don't Mind If I Do, like that of ’Pick a Place,’ ‘Worst Way,’ 'Jesus Saves' and others.

Joining Green throughout the exciting weekend thus far are a collection of acts both in the country genre and beyond, including fellow chart-topper Lainey Wilson, as well as The Avett Brothers. Also on tap for Weekend 2 are Megan Thee Stallion, Flo Milli and Cake.

If history should repeat itself, Summerfest 2025 will be lineup up with ample country artists across its nine days. Among the headliners for the massive, multi-week festival in 2024 were country hitmakers Kane Brown, Keith Urban and Tyler Childers.

Presented by American Family Insurance, the festival's 12 stages also welcomed acts like Charles Wesley Godwin, Kameron Marlowe, The War & Treaty, Wyatt Flores, Alana Springsteen, Jessie Murph, Brian Kelley, Conner Smith, Dylan Marlowe, Anne Wilson, Brent Cobb, Nolan Taylor, S.G. Goodman, Adeem the Artist, Ben Chapman, Mt. Joy, Chase Rice, Paul Cauthen, Ashland Craft, Abby Anderson, Seaforth, Colby Acuff, Tim Montana, John Morgan, Lily Rose, Restless Road, Little River Band and more.

Throughout next summer, Green will be knee deep in festival appearances and his own headlining touring duties, which will see him visiting venues in Ohio, Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, New York. Alabama and a special stop at Nashville's FirstBank Amphitheater on June 19.
