After Georgia Southern alumnus Cole Swindell headlined the inaugural GATAJAM in April 2024, the country music festival is set to return for its second year with Riley Green and Ella Langley headlining GATAJAM 2025.

Green and Langley currently have the No. 1 song on country radio, with “you look like you love me” earning the top spot on Mediabase’s Country Radio Chart as of Monday. They will bring both their solo work and work as a duo to the Beautiful Eagle Creek venue March 8, 2025.

The duet also earned Langley and Green a 2024 CMA Award for “Musical Event of the Year” and the song was certified platinum last month.

Green’s song with Langley is his fourth No. 1 song since his debut album in 2018. He also had No. 1 hits with “There Was This Girl,” “Different Round Here” with Luke Combs, and “Half of Me” with Thomas Rhett.

According to a release, GATAJAM is a collaborative effort produced by the Eagle Nation Collective. The group is the official NIL Collective of Georgia Southern and was created for the purpose of leveraging name, image and likeness (NIL) opportunities for Georgia Southern student-athletes, according to the website.

The Eagles’ football team is currently preparing to play in the New Orleans Bowl against Sam Houston next Thursday, Dec. 19, after going 8-4 in the regular season.

Tickets for GATAJAM go on sale Friday. More information is available at gatajam.com.
