Florida Georgia Line Seals Comeback with The Core Entertainment Management Deal
Country music's beloved duo, Florida Georgia Line, solidifies their reunion by signing with The Core Entertainment for management, signaling a new chapter after a two-year hiatus.
Country music powerhouse Florida Georgia Line has officially inked a management deal with The Core Entertainment, marking a significant step in the duo’s highly anticipated return. This move confirms that Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley are indeed back in business together.
The Core Entertainment had already been managing Tyler Hubbard's solo career for several months, and now expands its roster to include the full group.
The duo, composed of Hubbard and Kelley, took a hiatus in 2022 to pursue individual projects. However, whispers of a reunion began circulating earlier this year.
They first reappeared in March at the Country Radio Seminar, honoring fellow artist Jason Aldean. The reunion truly ignited at CMA Fest on Thursday night (June 4) at Nissan Stadium, where they emphatically declared, “We back, baby!” after performing fan favorites “Round Here” and “Cruise.”
From the Nissan Stadium stage, Hubbard shared his excitement: “CMA Fest, it feels so good to be here with my brother. And listen, we got three things we want to say tonight. First of all, God is good. Second of all, life is short. And most importantly, your boys … we back, baby!”
While there's no official word on new music, Billboard has learned that more Florida Georgia Line live shows are slated for 2027. Their last album was the deluxe version of 2021’s Life Rolls On.
Hints of the reunion had been playfully dropped by the duo. In January, Brian Kelley posted a cryptic yet humorous video on Instagram, suggesting a “hike with T-Hubb” had led to some exciting developments. The post garnered enthusiastic comments from fellow artists like HARDY and ERNEST, and a confirming response from Hubbard.
Just last month, Tyler Hubbard had hinted at the Academy of Country Music Awards that the pair was “flirting with the idea of playing a handful of shows next year.”
Florida Georgia Line burst onto the scene with their massive 2012 debut single, “Cruise,” which became a genre-defining hit. They followed this success with a string of chart-toppers including “Stay,” “This is How We Roll,” “Dirt,” “H.O.L.Y.,” “Simple,” and “Long Live.”
The Core Entertainment is led by co-founders and co-CEOs Simon Tikhman and Kevin “Chief” Zaruk. Their impressive management roster also includes artists such as Nickelback, Dan + Shay, Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith, Cameron Whitcomb, and Josh Ross.
