NASHVILLE, TN (October 1, 2013) – Earlier today (10/1), Florida Georgia Line rounded
up some of their “party people” for an exclusive sneak peek at their
first major headline tour – HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES TOUR 2013. Hundreds
of fans and members of the music industry community gathered at
Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to watch the breakout duo’s final
rehearsal before they embark on the 32-city tour, which kicks off this
Thursday (10/3) in Brookings, SD. The CMA nominees began the concert
preview with the exciting news that HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES…THIS IS HOW WE ROLL, a deluxe version of their chart-topping debut album is slated for 11/25 release on Republic Nashville.
The hot newcomers were surprised with a
special presentation commemorating several recent career milestones.

titled debut album HERE’S TO THE GOOD TIMES; GOLD certification for “Round Here,” and breaking the record for longest #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart with “Cruise.”
The multiple ACM and CMT Music Award

debut single “Cruise,” which has sold over 5.8 million copies in the US
