Is Florida Georgia Line Getting Back Together? Here's Everything We Know

Country music fans have been refreshing their social media feeds for months hoping for one specific announcement. And while it has not come yet, the signs are more encouraging right now than they have been at any point since Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley went their separate ways in 2022. Here is the full story on Florida Georgia Line, one of country music's most iconic and complicated duos.

How They Changed Everything

Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley came to Belmont University in Nashville as songwriters, which explains why everything they ever released felt like it was built to stick. Their 2012 debut duo single "Cruise" did not just become a hit. It became a cultural moment. The song spent 24 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, breaking a record that had stood since the 1950s. A remix featuring rapper Nelly peaked at number four on the all-genre Hot 100 and spent 54 weeks total on the chart, cementing its crossover appeal from the very beginning.

Florida Georgia Line were instrumental in popularizing the bro-country subgenre, a sound that blended elements of rock and hip-hop with country and featured unapologetically good-time energy. Critics argued about whether it was really country. Fans did not care. They bought records, packed stadiums, and sang every word.

Then came "Meant to Be" with pop star Bebe Rexha, which made "Cruise" look like a warm-up. The song topped the Hot Country Songs chart for 50 weeks, shattering the record FGL had set with "Cruise." It also reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Duo or Group Performance. Florida Georgia Line became the first country act ever to earn two Diamond single certifications, a feat that puts them in genuinely rarefied air. Their wedding anthem "H.O.L.Y." spent 18 consecutive weeks at number one. Their legacy as one of country music's most commercially dominant acts is simply not debatable.

The Breakup Nobody Fully Understood

In February 2022, Hubbard and Kelley announced they were taking a break to pursue solo projects, having released five albums together between 2012 and 2021. The stated reason was straightforward. The real story was a little more complicated. The key bone of contention was that Kelley believed they could keep FGL going alongside their solo careers, while Hubbard was of the opinion that doing so would confuse fans and muddle the overall brand. Hubbard put it plainly: "I don't have capacity to do two careers." Kelley even released what many believed to be a pointed response to that disagreement with his 2024 single "Kiss My Boots." The friendship, along with the band, had taken real damage.

The Reunion Signals Getting Louder

Here is where things get interesting. In November 2025, Hubbard and Kelley were photographed together at the CMA Awards for the first time in years, and the internet responded immediately with fans flooding the comments begging them to get the band back together. Then came a hike together. Then came throwback photos shared on social media. Then came something none of the fans expected.

In March 2026, Florida Georgia Line reunited onstage at a Country Radio Seminar event celebrating Jason Aldean, their first performance together since the hiatus began. "Man it feels good to be here tonight," Hubbard told the crowd. "It feels good to be here with my brother."

On the red carpet at the 2026 ACM Awards, Hubbard confirmed there is no new FGL music yet but teased the possibility of a handful of live shows in 2027. "It's been a really fun season of healing," he said. "We've been hanging out, laughing, cutting up, goofing around, and it just feels like the old days. We're just trying to soak it up, make the most of it, not rush anything."

Kelley was equally measured but clearly hopeful. "If I do think about it, it does excite me," he said. "I think the options are endless right now. I think time will tell and I'm excited at what God can do."

Nobody is announcing a tour yet. Nobody is confirming new music. But two men who were not even speaking a year ago are now hiking together, showing up to each other's events, and talking openly about playing shows in 2027. For Florida Georgia Line fans, that is a lot more than nothing. Get the full story on this dynamic duo on our website.
