Country star riley green will perform a half-time show at Suncorp Stadium during the Broncos v Eels game on Thursday, 12 March (ET).

Riley Green Half-Time Details
Organizers confirmed the half-time performance will take place during the Round 2 clash between the Brisbane Broncos and the Parramatta Eels at Suncorp Stadium. Fans can expect a short acoustic set featuring two of his biggest hits, with the stadium transformed into a singalong moment before Green travels to Melbourne the following night to launch his Cowboy As It Gets Tour. The booking represents Green’s first-ever stadium show down under and positions the match as a crossover moment between footy and country music.
Immediate Reactions
“I’m stoked to be heading back to Australia and now playing my first stadium down under at Suncorp. Last time I was in Brisbane, it was pretty cool to have Patty Carrigan come to my show so I thought I’d come to his place this time, ” Riley Green, country star, said about the upcoming appearance. He added, “We’ve been working closely with the Broncos to make this happen, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m really looking forward to watching the game too, I hear the atmosphere is pretty nuts, I can’t wait to learn a thing or two about rugby league. ”
Dave Donaghy, CEO, Brisbane Broncos, welcomed the booking and tied it directly to fan demand: “We can’t wait to welcome Riley and his crew to Suncorp – so many of our fans are his fans. His music, charisma, and genuine connection with people are exactly what they love, and he’s such a natural fit with the Broncos. ” Donaghy added that the event will be one of the most memorable games of the year and called the halftime show “a truly special experience people won’t forget. ”
What’s Next
Tickets remain available for the Thursday night fixture but are expected to move quickly given the crossover appeal of the booking and the draw of a stadium debut. The halftime spot formally launches riley green’s Australian run, which includes immediate travel to Melbourne the next night and later dates in Sydney ahead of his CMC Rocks Queensland headline. Organizers and the artist are framing the show as both a musical highlight and a boost to the matchday atmosphere, with supporters advised to secure seats early for the combined sporting and live-music event.
