Florida Georgia Line will kick off their Las Vegas residency this coming Saturday at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood. With only five dates scheduled, Tyler Hubbard says, “We’re calling this a mini residency, if you will. Just kind of dipping our toe in the water to see what it feels like… I do think if it goes over well, that yeah, down the road at some point we could definitely turn that into something a little bit bigger.”
The five dates they have scheduled will happen over a two week period, and Tyler says, “We’ve never spent more than about three days in Vegas, nor have we ever wanted to. So I think we’re kind of excited to actually go spend some time off The Strip a little bit, see what else Nevada has to offer.”
Brian Kelley is excited to become part of the Las Vegas entertainment scene’s rich history. He says, “My parents had their honeymoon in Vegas and they got to see Elvis. I think they were like on the second or third row and he was throwing out scarves and wiping his sweat. And so it’s such a great place for entertainment. And we’re just excited to see what kind of fans come to see us. I mean, it’s such a destination, so you never know who you’re going to get and I think that makes it all the more special. All the different energies, and so we’re excited.”
FGL will be incorporating their hits as well as their brand new single, “Talk You Out of It,” into their Las Vegas residency. You can get tickets and more information at Ticketmaster.com.
Florida Georgia Line – residency Tyler :41
Tyler Hubbard – “We’re calling this a mini residency, if you will. Just kind of dipping our toe in the water to see what it feels like. And we’ve never spent more than about three days in Vegas, nor have we ever wanted to. So I think we’re kind of excited to actually go spend some time off The Strip a little bit, see what else Nevada has to offer. And then have—I think we’re doing five or six shows spread out between about two weeks, so it won’t be a crazy strenuous schedule and we can just kind of enjoy the time with our family and enjoy Vegas and see what it’s like. And yeah, I do think if it goes over well, that yeah, down the road at some point we could definitely turn that into something a little bit bigger. But this was a great year to do that, being off the road, not doing a big tour, kind of creating a little bit more of a demand. And now the fans know if they want to come see us then come to Vegas in December so that’s cool.”
Florida Georgia Line – residency Brian
Brian Kelley – “You also think about all the Vegas entertainment history – Wayne Newton and Elvis and everybody. So it’s cool to kind of be the first young guys to go out there, try it out. You know, my parents had their honeymoon in Vegas and they got to see Elvis. I think they were like on the second or third row and he was throwing out scarves and wiping his sweat. And so it’s such a great place for entertainment. And we’re just excited to see what kind of fans come to see us. I mean, it’s such a destination, so you never know who you’re going to get and I think that makes it all the more special. All the different energies, and so we’re excited. Planet Hollywood is going to be awesome.”
