Hitmakers Florida Georgia Line Coming to The Upstate

One of the hottest acts in Country music scheduled to play the Bi-Lo Center.

One of the biggest breakout acts to emerge in Country music in the past several years is coming to Greenville.

Florida Georgia Line (aka Tyler Hubbard of Georgia and Brian Kelley of Florida) will bring their 32-city "Here's To The Good Times" Tour to the Bi-Lo Center on Nov. 9, tour organizers announced Monday.

Tickets for the show will go on sale Aug. 23 at 10 a.m.

The duo, who broke it big with their monster hit single, "Cruise," will be touring in support of their chart-topping album, "Here's To The Good Times." 

Florida Georgia Line has skyrocketed since releasing back-to-back, multi-week #1 smashes in the US and Canada with the Platinum-certified “Get Your Shine On” and “Cruise” which, combined with the Top 10-and-climbing (Top 40 Charts) remix featuring Nelly, has sold nearly five million downloads. 

The record–breaking duo is the first in 21 years to top the Country airplay charts with their first two singles, according to Billboard. The ACM New Artist of the Year and New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year winner’s current single “Round Here” is Top 20-and-rising at Country radio. "Cruise" sat at #1 for 19 straight weeks, the longest stretch for any Country song in the past 50 years, according to Billboard.

Can't make the Greenville show? Other regional dates include the Florence (S.C.) Civic Center on Nov. 7, the Knoxville (Tenn.) Civic Coliseum Nov. 8, and the Greensboro (N.C.) Coliseum Nov. 23.

This will be the band's first headlining tour, after playing opening slots for Taylor Swift and Luke Bryan. Backing them up on their tour, which begins Oct. 3 in South Dakota, will be Colt Ford, Tyler Farr, and Dallas Smith.

“We can’t wait to give our fans what they have been asking for all year … our own headline tour,” said Tyler Hubbard in a news release. “It is unreal and the first night of the tour can’t get here fast enough!” 

Brian Kelley added, “This is another dream of ours coming true. I couldn’t be more excited and more proud of the tour. Having Colt, Dallas and Tyler along with us is going to make for a party!”
