In a statement, Birds Nest Chairman Dodge Earnhardt praised the addition of Florida Georgia Line to the concert series lineup.

“Great music acts like these are the reason why the Birds Nest has become such a popular venue, not just for fans of the golf tournament, but for music lovers as well,” he said.

Earnhardt also said officials expect to sell out all four nights of the Birds Nest and encouraged music fans to purchase tickets early.

The Birds Nest is a nightclub in north Scottsdale that is erected for four days a year during the Waste Management Phoenix Open. It is located across the street from the main entrance to the Open at 82nd Street and Bell Road.

According to its website, the club — which is inside a tent — offers “great music, beautiful patrons and enthusiastic partying” and “offers a show all its own, [which] is totally unlike anything else associated with professional golf.”

We want to hear from you.
