Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley appear to have made their biggest move yet toward a Florida Georgia Line reunion.
After months of dropping hints and reuniting onstage twice this year, Hubbard now says the duo is actively working behind the scenes to put live shows together, signaling that a comeback is moving beyond wishful thinking.
While no dates have been announced, Hubbard’s latest comments suggest the wheels are officially in motion.
Making It Happen
Speaking with Chicago’s US99, Hubbard revealed he and Kelley have been spending more time together and are eager to get back onstage.

“I would say we’ve got some things in the works for next year,” he said. “Brian and I have been hanging out and having a good time. We’re kind of itching to get back on stage.”
Hubbard then offered the clearest sign yet that a reunion is taking shape, confirming the pair is already trying to line up shows.
So we’ll probably put some shows together next year. That’s about as much as we’ve planned at this point. We’re both excited. It’s gonna be a fun year next year.
Building Momentum
Hubbard’s latest update is the strongest indication yet that a Florida Georgia Line reunion is gaining momentum.
The duo first reunited publicly in March during a record label event honoring Jason Aldean at Country Radio Seminar, marking their first performance together since announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2022.

A few months later, Kelley surprised fans by joining Hubbard onstage during CMA Fest at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, drawing one of the loudest reactions of the weekend.
Looking back on that moment, Hubbard said it meant just as much to the pair as it did to the fans.
It was cool. It was a great moment. It was kind of that moment where everyone around us and the fans and everyone online got to experience the power and the healing that BK and I have been getting to experience for the last year or so.
Looking Ahead
Florida Georgia Line announced an indefinite hiatus in 2022 as Hubbard and Kelley shifted their focus to solo careers.
Earlier this year, Hubbard revealed the two had been intentionally rebuilding their friendship after drifting apart, saying they’ve spent the last year reconnecting both personally and professionally.
For now, new Florida Georgia Line music doesn’t appear to be part of the plan. But if Hubbard’s latest comments are any indication, fans may not have to wait much longer to see the duo back where they made their name — together onstage.

Country music is a little more polite in public than some genres, but that doesn’t mean the gloves don’t come off in private. We tend to assume all of our favorite country artists are good friends with their bandmates, but when they go their separate ways, sometimes the truth turns out to be very different.
