Florida Georgia Line may not be finished after all. Years after Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley stepped away from the duo to focus on solo careers, Hubbard is now giving fans new hope that the hit-making country pair could return to the stage together in 2027.
In a new interview with US99, Hubbard said he and Kelley have “some things in the works” for next year and admitted they are “kind of itching to get back on stage.” According to PEOPLE, the comments come after the former duo reunited for a few performances earlier this year, giving fans a glimpse of the chemistry that made Florida Georgia Line one of country music’s biggest acts of the 2010s.
Tyler Hubbard Says He and Brian Kelley Are Reconnecting
For many fans, the most important part of Hubbard’s update was not only the possibility of shows.
It was the friendship behind it.
Hubbard said he and Kelley have been spending time together again, having fun and enjoying the process of reconnecting. That matters because Florida Georgia Line’s split in 2022 left many fans wondering if the two men would ever repair their relationship enough to perform together again.
Earlier this year, Hubbard spoke openly about wanting to rebuild that bond, saying he wanted to “get my friend back” before thinking too far ahead about the band’s future. That emotional step now appears to be turning into something fans can actually see onstage.
Reunion Shows Could Happen in 2027
Hubbard did not announce a full tour, new album or official comeback.
But he did say he and Kelley will “probably put some shows together next year,” while making it clear that is about as far as the planning has gone for now. Holler also reported that Hubbard described 2027 as a year they are excited about, though no dates or venues have been confirmed.
That makes this moment exciting but still cautious.
Florida Georgia Line fans finally have a real reason to hope, but they do not yet have a calendar date to circle.
For now, it sounds like the duo is testing the waters slowly — not rushing back into a full-scale return, but allowing the door to open naturally.
Their Recent Reunion Performances Sparked the Buzz
The new comments come after several emotional Florida Georgia Line reunion moments.
The duo reunited onstage in Nashville in March 2026 during a Country Radio Seminar event honoring Jason Aldean, marking one of their first performances together since splitting in 2022. Page Six reported that the appearance followed a family ski trip with their wives, another sign that the personal relationship between Hubbard and Kelley was improving.
They also performed together at CMA Fest in June, where the reaction from fans made it clear that people still had love for Florida Georgia Line.
Hubbard described the response as powerful and healing, saying the reunion felt bigger than just the two of them.
That may be the real reason a 2027 return now feels possible.
The fans did not simply remember the songs.
They missed the duo.
Florida Georgia Line Helped Define a Country Era
Florida Georgia Line first broke through in 2010 and went on to become one of the most successful country acts of their generation.
Their smash hit “Cruise” helped define the sound of modern country radio in the early 2010s, while songs like “H.O.L.Y.” and “Meant to Be” expanded their reach far beyond traditional country audiences. PEOPLE noted that the duo became known for massive hits before separating in 2022 to pursue solo careers.
For fans in their 40s, 50s and 60s, Florida Georgia Line may represent a very specific country music era — tailgates, summer concerts, radio sing-alongs and a polished, high-energy style that changed the genre.
Whether people loved them or criticized them, their impact is hard to deny.
The Split Was Complicated but Not Simple Drama
When Florida Georgia Line split, rumors quickly followed.
Some fans speculated about personal tension, politics or creative differences. But both Hubbard and Kelley have pushed back against the idea that the breakup was just a bitter feud.
In a previous PEOPLE report, Hubbard said the split was unexpected for him and came as Kelley wanted to explore solo work. Kelley said it was “not a beef thing,” explaining that he needed a solo creative outlet and wanted space to pursue his own path.
That context makes the current reunion talk feel more mature.
This does not sound like two artists pretending the past never happened.
It sounds like two former partners who had to go separate ways before they could appreciate what they built together.
Solo Careers Gave Both Artists Space
Since the split, both Hubbard and Kelley have released solo music and built separate identities outside Florida Georgia Line.
Hubbard found success with solo songs and albums that allowed him to define his own sound, while Kelley leaned into his own creative lane. Smooth Radio noted that Hubbard released his self-titled album in 2023 and Strong in 2024, while Kelley released solo projects including Tennessee Truth and Sunshine State of Mind Season Two, Chapter One.
That time apart may have been necessary.
For years, the two were seen as one unit. Going solo allowed each man to grow individually, both personally and professionally.
Now, if they return to the stage together, it may happen from a healthier place.
Fans Are Ready for the Hits Again
Part of the excitement around a possible reunion is simple: fans want to hear the songs live again.
Florida Georgia Line’s catalog is filled with radio staples that defined parties, road trips, weddings and summer nights for more than a decade.
If Hubbard and Kelley do put shows together in 2027, the demand could be huge.
Fans would likely show up not only for nostalgia, but also to witness the emotional reunion of two artists whose partnership shaped a generation of country music.
Not a Full Comeback — Yet
Still, Hubbard’s comments should not be mistaken for a confirmed full return.
There is no official tour announcement.
No new album has been confirmed.
No dates have been released.
What fans have right now is a strong hint, a renewed friendship and a clear sign that both men are open to sharing a stage again.
That may be enough to keep the excitement alive.
Sometimes the most meaningful reunions do not begin with a press release.
They begin with two people reconnecting, laughing again and realizing the stage still feels like home.
Florida Georgia Line’s Story May Not Be Over
For years, fans wondered whether Florida Georgia Line had closed the book for good.
Now, Tyler Hubbard is suggesting there may be another chapter.
Maybe it will be a few shows.
Maybe it will become something bigger.
Or maybe it will simply be a chance for Hubbard and Kelley to celebrate the music, the memories and the fans who never stopped asking for one more night.
Either way, one thing is clear:
Florida Georgia Line is no longer just a memory.
The door is open again.
