Rascal Flatts Announces 25th Anniversary Tour After Canceling 2020 Farewell Tour
Rascal Flatts recently made a joint statement about the choice to return to the road. “In 2020, we announced the farewell tour after being on the road extensively for 20 years. To put it simply, we needed a break,” they wrote.
The statement continued, “Then COVID hit and our plans came to a screeching halt, like the rest of the world. Since then, we’ve been able to revisit our unique and special experience as a band and we’re ready to get out on the road again. It’s hard to believe that next year will be the 25th anniversary of Rascal Flatts, and that felt like the perfect time to get back in front of the fans who have given us so much.”
The trio announced the tour on their Instagram, and fans were ecstatic to see them getting back on the road. Gary LeVox also replied from his personal account with an excited gif of himself, and Chris Lane replied, “The Boysssseee are back!!! can’t wait…gonna be Hugeee.”
Some fans were concerned about the lack of big cities on the tour. One fan noted that there are no California stops, while another mentioned that Nashville was missing. One fan hoped there would be multiple legs of the tour, while another asked for some U.K. dates.
