“It’s
good to be back out on tour with some of our best friends, Nelly and
Chris Lane,” exclaims FGL’s Brian Kelley. “If it’s any indication of our
ballpark tour a couple years ago, this should be the party of the year!
We are excited to see and connect with all of our fans, and make as
many memories as we can.”
FGL
and Nelly first collaborated on a remix of the duo’s epic 2012 debut
single, “Cruise,” a DIAMOND-certified hit that reached #4 on Billboard’s
all-genre Hot 100 chart. Since then, they have teamed up for numerous
concert and award show appearances. Lane broke out in 2015 with his
addictive GOLD-certified #1 debut, “Fix,” and is currently out on FGL’s
2017 DIG YOUR ROOTS TOUR.
FGL’s
electrifying 2017 DIG YOUR ROOTS TOUR is on the road now, selling out
shows in support of their chart-topping BMLG Records DIG YOUR ROOTS
album. The project has already delivered back-to-back #1 singles with
the 2X PLATINUM-certified “H.O.L.Y.” – which spent an incredible 18
weeks atop Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart – and GOLD-certified “May
We All” (featuring Tim McGraw). The duo’s third chart-rising single,
“God, Your Mama, And Me,” is a knockout collaboration with Backstreet
