Florida Georgia Line just launched their Anything Goes Tour last Thursday, and Brian Kelley says, “It’s something we’ve been working toward for a long time and asking for it… It’s gonna be awesome. We’re very excited.”
They headlined a short summer tour last year, but this will be their first major headlining tour. Prior to this they spent time on tours with Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean, and Brian says, “We’re very thankful for the opportunities from all the artists that we got to open up for. We’ve learned so much and feel ready to take on a full year of headlining and we’ve got a great crew and band on the road to make that all possible.”
Fans going to see the tour will get to hear FGL’s first six #1 songs and their latest single, “Sun Daze,” which is currently working its way to #1. Frankie Ballard and Thomas Rhett will be opening for Florida Georgia Line on the Anything Goes Tour, which currently has dates scheduled through June.
