First comes the Coors Light Birds Nest series in February, which coincides with the WM Phoenix Open in Scottsdale. The headliners are Riley Green with Ashley Cooke, Jason Aldean with Josh Ross, Snoop Dogg with T-Pain, and Calvin Harris. 

Later that month, Innings Festival in Tempe will be headlined by Pitbull, The Strokes, and Alanis Morissette.
