By Josh Malone

Detroit, MI – September 19^th, 2025

Rising country artist Adrien Nunez opened his Don’t Wanna Go Home tour Thursday night at District 142, delivering a set that blended fan favorites, unreleased material, and even a nod to his basketball roots. With support from opener Brody Clementi, the Michigan native set a strong tone for the 14-date run.

Nunez, a former Michigan Wolverines basketball player turned country singer, wasted no time energizing the crowd with “WILD” and “ANOTHER DAY,” before introducing a newer track, “DAMN BROKE.” Between songs, he reflected on being back in his home state and promised fans a memorable evening.

One of the more personal moments came with “MINNESOTA,” a song he explained was written during a difficult period and inspired by his now-girlfriend, media personality Tianna Robillard. The crowd responded with cheers at the mention of her name. He followed with “APOLOGY SONG,” a continuation of that story.

Midway through the set, Nunez leaned into his athletic background, recalling his time with the Wolverines. The crowd answered with “Go Blue” chants before joining in the traditional “It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine.” A bandmate then rolled out a basketball hoop, giving two fans the chance to shoot for prizes, a moment that blended his past and present identities.

The setlist also included his latest single, “808s & SIX STRINGS,” which stood out as a highlight live. Nunez surprised the audience with a cover of Justin Bieber’s “DAISES,” adding variety to the night’s performance.

He closed with “LOW ROAD,” the first song he ever released, acknowledging it as the track that launched his career. For the encore, he stepped into the middle of the crowd to deliver the song’s final verse and chorus, ending the evening on an intimate and memorable note.

The Don’t Wanna Go Home tour continues September 20 in Newport, Kentucky, with 13 additional dates scheduled across the country.
