Superstar duo Florida Georgia Line hit a Grand Slam in the Twin Cities last night (7/29) with their second SOLD-OUT headline stadium show. The performance is another pinnacle moment in their already-remarkable career.
With tens of thousands of boisterous fans at Minneapolis’ Target Field (home of the Minnesota Twins baseball team), round two of FGL’s stadium trek was even more intense than the first as Pop idols Backstreet Boys, Hip-Hop icon Nelly and breakout Country star Chris Lane took the stage. The explosive event featured full sets from each performer plus a batch of must-see collaborations, creating a wild night with the audience singing along from start to finish.

FGL invited Backstreet Boys to join them onstage for their heartfelt ballad “God, Your Mama, And Me,” showcasing lush harmonies and swagger. The PLATINUM-certified single was just revealed as FGL’s 13th career #1, and marks the first time Backstreet Boys have contributed to a Country single. Ending the show with a flurry of blockbuster hits, all artists then returned for a special encore medley of Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” and FGL and Nelly’s DIAMOND-certified hit “Cruise.” In typical FGL fashion, they lit up the sky with a colossal fireworks finale to cap off the high-octane night.
