The group reflected: “In 2020, we announced the farewell tour after being on the road extensively for 20 years.  To put it simply, we needed a break. 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.”

Together, the trio and their fans will reflect on their iconic catalog of hits including “Bless The Broken Road,” “My Wish,” and “What Hurts The Most” – always soulful, engaging and delivered with a positive, universal message – as well as a string of success that continues to place Rascal Flatts among the modern musical elite.
