Lineup set for 2022 Phoenix Open Birds Nest performances

PHOENIX — The Phoenix Open Birds Nest is returning in February with a mix of headliners focusing on electric dance music, country and rap.

The concert series will take place Feb. 9-12 during Waste Management Phoenix Open Week, with 10-time Grammy-nominated artist Diplo and Grammy-nominated multi-Platinum country artist Cole Swindell serving as the tee-off to the event.

“Our fans have shown their love for both EDM and country music, so we figured why not get this concert series started in style by showcasing both on the same night,” 2022 Tournament Chairman Michael Golding said in a press release.

American Music Award and CMT Music Award winner Sam Hunt performs the following night with special guest and multi-platinum recording artist Russell Dickerson.

Four-time GRAMMY award-winning rapper and songwriter Macklemore is set to headline the third night with Quinn XCII and ayokay.

The concert series concludes with Norwegian-born music producer/DJ Kygo making his second appearance following his debut at the Bird’s Nest in 2020, along with special guests Sam Feldt and Forester.

Tickets are on sale now with general admission starting at $75. VIP tickets are also available at $285 each that provides access to a VIP area with complimentary food and drinks as well as premium viewing for the shows. People are encouraged to buy their tickets early as prices will increase as the event nears.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome music fans back to the Coors Light Birds Nest and to feature an incredible lineup of musicians,” Golding said.

“The artists in this year’s lineup are some of the most talented and well-known musicians in the world and we can’t wait to see them take the stage in front of 8,000 music-hungry fans.”

People will also notice some changes to the Birds Nest outdoor patio in its return this year, with an enhanced fan experience being available outside the 48,000 square foot tent where the performances take place in an effort to provide more of a music festival atmosphere.

“The Coors Light Birds Nest has been known for hosting some of the biggest stars around, but this year, we wanted to take a look at how we could improve the overall fan experience, especially before the headliners take the stage,” 2022 Coors Light Birds Nest Chairman Eric Brandt said in the release.

“Coors Light Birds Nest ticket holders can expect a much more fan-friendly atmosphere where they can meet friends for drinks after golf, come early to have a bite to eat at food trucks, play outdoor party games and enjoy the various outdoor bars and seating areas.”

The 87th Waste Management Phoenix Open takes place Feb. 7-13. Drawing hundreds of thousands of people to  TPC Scottsdale in previous years, the event was cut back to 5,000 per day last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic but expects a return to traditional operations this year.

Tickets for the golf tournament are on sale now.
