Live music is coming to the Plains! With the new, long-term collaboration of Auburn Athletics with Peachtree Entertainment, Neville Arena and Jordan-Hare Stadium are scheduled to hold at least five concerts annually, featuring bands and singers known nationwide. The partnership is an exciting announcement for all current and future Auburn students. Notably, within the next five months, the upcoming performances will range from faith-based worship songs to soulful country music, featuring performers Josiah Queen, Hulvey, Claire Leslie, Riley Green and Parker McCollum.
Josiah Queen, Hulvey and Claire Leslie
On their second-ever Campus Nights Tour, Josiah Queen, Hulvey and Claire Leslie are set to come to Neville Arena on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. After selling out at all eight campus performances last year, the tour has added four more to the list to inspire the youth through Christian worship music by up-and-coming Gen-Z artists.
Present will be contemporary vocalist Josiah Queen, a prominent and growing figure known for his authentic lyrics and indie-folk melodies. Accompanying Queen will be American rapper Hulvey, who shares his conviction to spread God’s word through upbeat and faith-based hiphop. Pop artist Leslie will also join Queen and Hulvey, adding to the spirit of praise with her colorful and alternative interpretation of rhythms and harmonies.
General admission is open to students now. Prices range from $39 for students to $139 for VIPs.
Riley Green
On Friday, Nov. 28, Country Music Award (CMA) and Academy of Country Music (ACM) winner, Alabama native and die-hard Auburn fan Riley Green will perform at Neville Arena, with the time to be determined.
Green began his country music career by playing his guitar and singing in local bars on the weekends, a hobby he picked up from his grandfather. Initially a construction worker in Jacksonville, Alabama, Green signed his first record deal in Nashville in 2018, where he quickly grew in popularity with his moving, classic country melodies and lyrics rooted in traditional southern stories and values. He has released many top 20 hits on the country Billboard charts such as “I Wish Grandpas Never Died”, and even multiple No. 1 singles, including the most recent "Worst Way." He is set to host the 2025 Iron Bowl Eve show with two other country singers: Mobile, Alabama native Hannah McFarland and 2007 Auburn graduate Drake White.
Concert seating is open to students now, with reserved starting at $138.70 and pit starting at $312.70.
Parker McCollum
Hot off of his newest album release, Texan country singer Parker McCollum will make his 11th tour stop in 2026 in Auburn. The show is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in Neville Arena.
McCollum’s career took off after winning his first of two ACM awards, which was for New Male Artist of the Year in 2022.
With his authentic lyricism, baritone voice and impressive talents in multiple instruments, McCollum easily relates to his large audience over the radio and in live performances – leading to his 2024 platinum song “Burn It Down.” On this tour, McCollum's fans are guaranteed a lively concert with hits from his latest album like "What Kinda Man" and "Killin' Me," as well as his classic hits that put him on the map, such as “Pretty Heart” and “To Be Loved Like You.” Joining him will be two up-and-coming country stars: Indiana native and contemporary singer Jake Worthington, known for his top 10 single "How Do You Honky Tonk," and South Dakotan, tenor singer-songwriter Tyler Halverson, known for his self-proclaimed “Amerijuana” twang.
Seating is open to students now, with reserved starting at $37 and pit starting at $116.
