Florida Georgia Line’s I Love My Country Tour 2021 has been canceled.
The duo announced the cancellation on Friday (Aug. 20), due to the ongoing Covid-19 resurgence.
“There is nothing better than seeing all of your faces from the stage, feeling your good energy, and making memories together,” shares FGL’s Tyler Hubbard. “We were hopeful we could get back on the road this fall, and are so bummed to have to cancel this tour, but we know in our hearts that we still have to make sure we’re keeping our fans and crew safe. It’s unfortunate that we have to cancel but we hope y’all understand. We love our fans and can’t wait to be back out when the time is right.”

“Although we’ve been able to see some of y’all at shows recently, everyone’s continued safety has been weighing heavy on us,” adds FGL’s Brian Kelley. “To our fans, band, crew, and all of the venues around the country, thank you for your love and support! We couldn’t do what we do without you, and we hope we can all do our part to bring live music back soon.”
The tour, which was set to launch on September 24 and run through November 20, was set to feature Russell Dickerson as direct support, plus openers Lauren Alaina and Redferrin.
Current ticket holders will received refunds issued to the original point of purchase.
