Florida Georgia Line Teams With Hip-Hop Artist Nelly for 40-Date “Smooth Tour”

Cross-genre fans will come together this summer as Florida Georgia Line and hip-hop artist Nelly team up for the Smooth Tour, a 40-date trek that kicks off in Austin on June 2 and wraps on October 21 in Alpharetta, Ga. Along the way, FGL and Nelly will make stops in Dallas, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Cleveland, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Seattle, Tampa and more. Chris Lane will serve as the opener.

Nelly and Florida Georgia Line first collaborated for a remix of FGL’s “Cruise” in 2013, and have since teamed up for award shows and concert appearances.

“It’s good to be back out on tour with some of our best friends, Nelly and Chris Lane,” said 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.”
