Back on the horizon
Although country duo Florida Georgia Line ended their partnership in 2022, signs point to anything but a permanent split. During fresh interviews connected to the 2026 ACM Awards in Texas, Tyler Hubbard shared that he and Brian Kelley are now “flirting with the idea” of reunion shows in 2027, following what he calls a “season of healing” between the former bandmates.
On the ACM red carpet, Hubbard told Entertainment Tonight that the two have been “toying around” with the notion of staging “a handful of shows” together, noting that any return would involve more than nostalgia alone. “It’s bigger than just us, it’s bigger than just the music,” he explained, referencing a theme of “grace and forgiveness and healing.” Fans lining the carpet reportedly cheered loudly at the suggestion, chanting “FGL 2027!” as Hubbard continued down the row, per country outlet Holler.

Healing old wounds, feeding new hopes
This potential reunion comes after a difficult period. FGL entered an indefinite hiatus from recording and touring in 2022, with both artists turning to solo work amid occasional clashes over creative direction and political views. Hubbard has since noted that the break prompted serious discussions and, ultimately, reconciliation.
In recent remarks, Hubbard portrayed the past few years as a personal reset, giving them room to ease tensions and restore trust. Country fans online have followed this gradual warming, pointing to friendlier interviews and social media activity between the pair since late 2025. The notion of a 2027 reunion tour—mentioned across multiple reports this week—appears as the result: a path from public separation to public reconciliation, comparable to recent returns by groups such as Rascal Flatts, who reunited after a five-year break for a 2026 anniversary trek.
Should plans advance, industry observers anticipate:
- A limited run of “handful of shows” to gauge interest in 2027
- Performances centered on signature hits like “Cruise” and “Meant to Be”
- An emotionally charged setting, with fans viewing each night as both a possible farewell and fresh start
What a 2027 FGL reunion would mean
To date, neither Hubbard nor Kelley has confirmed specific dates, venues, or ticket details, and at least one major ticket-tracking platform continues to list only their solo schedules while promising updates “if an FGL tour is confirmed.” Still, within country music circles, even the suggestion of a reunion from one of the 2010s’ most successful yet divisive duos carries significant weight.
For many supporters, FGL’s journey reflects the genre’s own shifts: from high-energy bro-country anthems toward more introspective material. A 2027 series would allow audiences to witness two artists who first connected through a college worship group, achieved arena-level success, nearly ended their collaboration, and ultimately chose to share a stage once more.
Should the reunion materialize, expect:
- Strong ticket demand for the initial dates announced
- Poignant audience moments including sing-along anthems and emotional addresses
- A compelling story of public forgiveness—a reminder, in Hubbard’s words, that certain bands don’t simply break apart; they bend, heal, and return stronger
