“It is so great to be here, 25 years of Rascal Flatts, I can not believe it,” shared Jay DeMarcus from Rascal Flatts. He said some things have changed through the years but some things have not. DeMarcus continued, “I tell you one thing that has not changed in 25 years, that is that the Rascal Flatts fans are still the greatest fans on the face of the entire planet!” said the artist. “Y’all have loved us and stood by us even when we haven’t been on the road these last 5 years and I gotta tell you the love we feel tonight on this stage coming from y’all is absolutely astounding. Thank you for the last 25 years!” 

It’s definitely a special time to be celebrating 25 years of such an amazing group! Each member was very appreciative of the fans showing up for them and this tour. “Thank you so much for coming out and supporting us, 25 years of Flatts!” shared Joe Don Rooney from Rascal Flatts. 

One thing is for certain, you can’t think about 2000’s country or country music in general without Rascal Flatts. The opportunity to see Rascal Flatts perform live in concert is such an awesome experience! Along with that, the group of fans is unlike any other, as you could easily feel the love and connection between the fans and the group in the room. Everyone was styled in some reference to the band, whether it was a song lyric or race car themed clothing. 

Rascal Flatts performed an encore to close out the show with Summer Nights and brought out Lauren Alaina and Chris Lane to perform Life Is A Highway! “Thank you guys for letting us do this for 25 years and we love you guys!” shared Gary LeVox.
