Florida Georgia Line‘s back, baby.
Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, who made up the hottest country music duo of the 2010s, have reignited their brotherhood, and they feel the time is ripe for a big reunion tour.
Florida Georgia Line just announced a run on the festival circuit in 2027, starting with Stagecoach Music Festival in the California desert in April.
It appears that’s just the tip of the iceberg, too.
In a post to Instagram that’s light on details, the duo reveal a new promo photo that finds them buddied up against a concrete wall. The words “Anything Goes Again — The Festival Tour” are sprawled in spray paint behind them.
“Y’all ready for an epic summer? LFG,” they write in the caption alongside the fire emoji.

Below that is a list of the festivals they’ll be playing — presumably as headliners — but they’re all blurred out, save for Stagecoach.
In total, 12 are listed, and FGL rushed to announce another just a few hours later. They’re also booked for Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach, June 10-13.
That news was revealed in a promo video, and the nostalgia hits like a tidal wave as they hop into the cab of a truck together, bags packed and ready to hit the road.
“Feels like old times,” Brian remarks with a smirk.
“Kinda does,” Tyler responds.
It’s already warm and fuzzy feeling, and then their megahit from 2012, “Cruise,” starts blaring from the truck radio.
“This will heal our country,” one person writes in the comments, summing it up better than we could.

Why Did Florida Georgia Line Break Up?
In February of 2022, Florida Georgia Line hit fans like a brick with the news that they were “taking a break,” announcing an indefinite hiatus.
On the record, they cited Kelley’s desire to go solo. Off the record, fans speculated that there was some bad blood between them, and the duo have laid enough breadcrumbs over the years to give some weight to the theory.
Last December, Hubbard admitted they went a long while without talking, and that he really missed his friend.
“I hadn’t spoken to BK a lot in the last couple of years, but we’re going on a hike next week, so the way I see it is, I have a desire for that friendship. I miss the guy I was partners with for 10 years,” he said in an interview with the Human School Podcast (via People). “I miss my old roommate, my best man at my wedding, and if nothing else, we should have a relationship.”
“It doesn’t have to be what it was, and it doesn’t have to equal FGL doing anything, but we need to repair … and spend some time together face-to-face,” Hubbard added. “And just walk and talk and hang, and go fishing or get a guitar out.”
“It feels like, at this point, enough time has gone by.”
Over the past four years, both acts released solo music, but neither found the success they once had as one of the top-selling duos in the history of country music.
So, when they popped up onstage together at CMA Fest over the summer, fans speculated something bigger than a single reunion performance might be brewing.
The tour name “Anything Goes Again” calls back to their sophomore album Anything Goes, which charted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 album chart and delivered hit singles “Sun Daze,” “Dirt,” “Confession,” and “Sippin’ on Fire.”
