Luke Bryan kicked up the energy on the Home Plate Stage, opening his set with “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye” and immediately getting the crowd moving. He delivered a string of hits spanning his nearly 20-year career, including “I Don’t Want This Night to End,” “Love, Miss You, Mean It,” and “Crash My Party.” During “One Margarita,” Bryan brought a comically large margarita on stage and handed it to a fan, creating a fun, interactive moment. He slowed the pace for a piano set featuring “Buy Dirt,” a song he is featured on with Jordan Davis, before returning to high-energy performances with “Play It Again” and fan favorite “Country Girl (Shake It For Me).” Bryan’s set was full of charisma and crowd-pleasing energy, keeping fans engaged from start to finish and leaving them buzzing long after the final note.

Dierks Bentley returned to an energetic crowd at Extra Innings Festival, clearly feeling right at home in Phoenix. He opened with a string of hits including “I Hold On,” “Gold,” “Drunk On A Plane,” and “Somewhere on a Beach,” keeping the audience singing and dancing along. Later in the set, Bentley and his band transformed into the Hot Country Knights, performing a medley of “T-R-O-U-B-L-E,” “Friends in Low Places,” “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!,” and “Two Dozen Roses.” Bentley even handed out roses to fans during the finale, making for a fun, interactive moment that showcased his humor, showmanship, and connection to his hometown audience. Throughout the set, he was endlessly entertaining, bringing energy and charisma to every performance and keeping the crowd fully engaged from start to finish.

HARDY took the stage to an electrified crowd, emerging through dramatic animal-print curtains. His set was visually striking, featuring a raised wooden cabin and a large screen projecting forest imagery with a buck at its center, creating such immersive stage design that it was easy to forget you were at a festival and feel like you were at a full-on HARDY show. He performed fan favorites including “Boots,” “Jack,” and “Wait in the Truck,” as well as his own song “God’s Country,” which he wrote for Blake Shelton. HARDY closed his set with “Truck Bed” and later returned wearing former Arizona State University running back Cam Skattebo’s jersey to say goodbye to the Tempe audience, leaving a lasting impression with his high-energy performance and undeniable songwriting talent.
