Florida Georgia Line sent Nissan Stadium into a frenzy during CMA Fest when they reunited for a two-song performance during the annual festival.
The duo’s Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard were introduced by legendary boxing announcer Michael Buffer, who hyped up the crowd for the surprise moment, shouting, “Let’s get ready to rumble!”
BK and Tyler made their way to the stage from opposite sides of the stadium, ultimately meeting in the middle as fans erupted in cheers throughout the venue.

The packed stadium joined together for a massive sing-along of the duo’s 2013 hit “Round Here,” followed by their classic “Cruise,” sending the audience into a full-blown frenzy.
Their performances were filmed and aired during CMA Fest presented by SoFi on ABC Thursday night.
Ahead of the reunion, the duo had been teasing something big, updating their social media accounts with a new profile photo and unveiling a Downtown Nashville billboard that read “FGL LFG” alongside a phone number. Fans who texted the number received a message reading: “Turns out, some things are just better together. Much more to come. FGL LFG.”
This marked Florida Georgia Line’s first major performance together since 2022. Earlier this year, BK and Tyler also reunited onstage to perform a song they co-wrote for Jason Aldean during his surprise No. 1 party in Nashville.
In recent months, the pair have continued fueling reunion speculation with shared social posts. They were also photographed together the CMA Awards last fall.
Following CMA Fest, it was also revealed that Florida Georgia Line signed with The Core Entertainment for management and CAA (Creative Artists Agency) for booking, sparking even more speculation that a larger return could be on the horizon.
Florida Georgia Line was one of several acts who performed during CMA Fest, which took over downtown Nashville in early June and brought an estimated 100,000 fans per day to Music City.

Other performers included Bailey Zimmerman, Blake Shelton, The Band Perry, Brothers Osborne, Carly Pearce, Cody Johnson, Deana Carter, Ella Langley, HARDY, Jason Aldean, Jelly Roll, Jordan Davis, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, Michael McDonald, Molly Tuttle, The Red Clay Strays, Ricky Skaggs, Riley Green, Russell Dickerson, Shaboozey, Stephen Wilson Jr., Tim McGraw, Tucker Wetmore, and Zach Top.
The special will be available to stream on Hulu on Friday.
