Riley Green’s Cowboy As It Gets Tour rolls into Wantagh on Saturday, June 20 — and Northwell at Jones Beach Theater is set to deliver one of the best country shows of the summer. Show time is 7:00 PM ET. Whether you’re a longtime fan or catching him live for the first time, here’s what you need to know before you head out.
Getting There
Saturday’s weather is working in your favor: sunny skies and a high near 78°F make for a comfortable drive and a pleasant walk from the parking lot to the entrance. One heads-up — a steady west wind around 16 mph will be noticeable on the approach, so keep a hand on any lightweight cap. Once you’re through the doors, you’re out of the elements entirely. Theaters tend to run on the cooler side even on warm evenings, so tucking a light layer in your bag is a smart call — more on that below.
Gear Up
A Riley Green show is a full fandom moment. A Riley Green t-shirt is the classic floor look. Leaning into the cowboy aesthetic? A Riley Green hat fits the theme and does double duty on the breezy walk in. If the venue air conditioning has you reaching for something warmer mid-set, a Riley Green hoodie handles both — fan gear and light layer in one shot. Want to take the night home with you? A Riley Green poster is a clean way to mark the occasion.
Live country shows hit hard on the volume front — that’s the whole point — but if you’re stacking concerts this summer, a pair of concert ear plugs high fidelity is worth the bag space. High-fidelity plugs bring down the decibels without muddying the mix, so you still catch every guitar lick and every lyric.
Practical Tips
- Arrive by 5:30 PM ET — Jones Beach parking fills fast on summer Saturday nights, and the walk from the far lots adds time
- Check Northwell at Jones Beach Theater’s current bag policy before you pack; most large venues restrict bag size and prohibit hard-sided containers
- If you’re still hunting for tickets, check major ticketing platforms for last-minute availability
