Birds Nest at WM Phoenix Open rounds out 2026 lineup with Nelly and Ludacris

PHOENIX — The Birds Nest lineup for the 2026 WM Phoenix Open is now complete with the addition of hip-hop icons Nelly and Ludacris as headliners.

“Nelly makes his highly anticipated return to the Birds Nest alongside Ludacris — both living legends who need no introduction,” 2026 WM Phoenix Open Tournament Chairman Jason Eisenberg said in a Friday announcement.

The concert series runs from Feb. 4 to Feb. 7. Nelly, Ludacris and special guest Ja Rule will perform on Friday, Feb. 6.

Tickets go on sale next Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time.

• General admission will start at $115, with fees.
• VIP tickets start at $293, with fees. They come with complimentary food and drinks, along with access to a premium viewing area.

Organizers encourage fans to buy tickets early because prices will increase as the event draws closer.

“This lineup is loaded with incredible talent across the board,” Eisenberg said. “This show is going to be one for the books, with both co-headliners bringing out all the anthems.”

Other performers include Bailey Zimmerman, Zach Top and John Summit.
