Musician Green discusses his approach to playing festivals, Shinedown's withdrawal from Rock the Country Festival, and his excitement for his upcoming shows, including cohosting ABC's CMA Fest.
While musician Green is embarking on his own Cowboy As It Gets arena tour this summer, he's also slated to perform at a few festivals.
When asked about his decision to play festivals, Green, 37, stated, 'If it makes financial sense, I'll probably go do it.
' Meanwhile, Shinedown has withdrawn from the 2026 Rock the Country Festival, citing their desire to bring people together through music. Green, however, prefers to keep his performances apolitical, saying, 'People go to concerts to escape their everyday problems and enjoy country music. My job is to entertain them.
' In a recent incident, Green was heckled during a performance, but he chose to continue the show rather than let one person ruin it for everyone. Looking ahead, Green is excited about his busy career, including cohosting ABC's CMA Fest, and hopes to reach new fans at his upcoming shows. Despite his success, Green jokes that his biggest challenge now is staying awake during performances

President Trump Jokes About President-Elect Al Green's Defeat, Anticipates Peaceful SOTU SpeechIn response to the defeat of Rep. Al Green (D-TX) in a Democrat primary runoff, President Donald Trump ridiculed the congressman while acknowledging he will miss his screaming and violent waving of a cane at him during his State of the Union addresses. Green's defeat was followed by a change in the congressional district boundaries and his conflicts with President Trump and House Republicans. Christian Menefee, his opponent, has been focusing on immigration issues and was decisive in winning the runoff, over 2/3 of the votes. Menefee and Green both opposed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's deportation fund lawsuit and had differing opinions on the terrorist status of Iran. Green also pursued multiple impeachment attempts against Trump over his strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in 2025. Menefee's victory was praised for reflecting 'Texans' voting preferences' and also for challenging the new congressional map that moved Green's base into a new congressional district. President Trump was rumored to have forgotten about Green during his first SOTU address but has later mentionedO him while acknowledging his departing presence, expressing his foresight for a peaceful Son of the Union speech. Although Green's departure, his involvement and Senate approval of the resolution will play a role in the upcoming impeachment showdown as the Democrat-controlled House impeachments stand a slim chance against a possible Republican Senate acquittal. However, Newsom's defeat could potentially affect the Hispanic vote, although they made up less than 40% of the votes, which was far less than several previous elections in 2020-present.
