At the ACM Awards on May 17, Tyler Hubbard dropped the clearest hint yet that Florida Georgia Line might return to the stage: "We have been toying around and flirting with the idea of playing a handful of shows next year, and that gets us both excited."
That offhand line from Hubbard became immediately newsworthy when the duo’s previously mothballed social accounts came alive on Tuesday, June 2, with a stark graphic reading "FGL LFG." Billboards bearing the same message appeared around Nashville during CMA Fest week, instructing passersby to text 615-819-5007; the automated reply read, "Turns out, some things are just better together. Much more to come. FGL LFG."
The numbers and the moment matter: May 17 is when Hubbard publicly framed the idea as something both members had been considering, and June 2 is when promotional assets reemerged in the city already thick with country-music attention because of CMA Fest. Those two dates stitched the rumor into a timeline fans can follow.
Hubbard has not offered a schedule or venues; what he did offer was a softer portrait of why a reunion would make sense. "It’s been a really fun season of healing…We’ve been hanging out, laughing, cutting up, goofing around, it just feels like the old days. We’re just trying to soak it up, make the most of it, not rush anything," he said, framing any comeback as born from repaired friendship as much as commercial calculation.
Context is short and sharp: Florida Georgia Line broke up in 2022, and Hubbard has pursued a relatively successful solo career since. Nostalgia for the duo’s catalog and the strikingly timed outdoor ads have pushed the possibility of a comeback into public view, with observers suggesting any run would likely be a limited amphitheater-style set of dates next summer rather than a broad arena tour.
The clearest friction is timing. Hubbard’s May remark placed the potential shows "next year," but the marketing burst during CMA Fest this week reads like an acceleration — a test of appetite or a way to seize the moment while the city is full of country fans. That gap between a publicly stated planning horizon and an apparent immediate promotional campaign is the unusual part: are the billboards a simple brand tease, or the first step toward announcing dates sooner than Hubbard suggested?
For fans, the next move is obvious and specific. If the text reply is any indicator — "Much more to come" — the team behind Florida Georgia Line is preparing further steps in the rollout. The practical thing to watch for is an official announcement of tour dates or a set of confirmed shows; until those appear, Hubbard’s May 17 comment remains the only dated promise about timing.
Hubbard’s combination of a candid personal update and the sudden public messaging in Nashville leaves a narrow conclusion: the duo appears to be deliberately stoking interest now while keeping the actual plan tethered to next year. Fans should expect more marketing nudges and, if demand matches the moment, a limited run of shows announced in the months ahead.
