Florida Georgia Line Is Officially Back in Business — and They’ve Got Management to Prove It
By CRANKiT ENTERTAINMENT | June 29, 2026
It’s no longer just a rumor, a billboard, or a cryptic profile pic. Florida Georgia Line has signed with The Core Entertainment for management — and when a reunited duo locks in a management deal, that’s the move that tells you they mean it.
The Core had already been steering Tyler Hubbard‘s solo career for a few months. Now they’ve brought the whole band back into the fold, Hubbard and Brian Kelley together again.
If you’ve been following along, you saw the breadcrumbs. The pair stepped away in 2022 to chase solo projects, but the reunion energy had been building all year. They linked up in March at Country Radio Seminar to honor Jason Aldean, then blindsided everyone at Nissan Stadium on Thursday night (June 4) during CMA Fest — ripping through “Round Here” and “Cruise” before Hubbard hollered the line every FGL fan had been waiting four years to hear: “We back, baby!”
From the stage, Hubbard kept it simple — God is good, life is short, and most importantly, the boys are back.
So what’s next? There’s no official word yet on new music, but more FGL live shows are reportedly on the way in 2027. Their last release was the deluxe edition of 2021’s Life Rolls On, out on Nashville Harbor (formerly BMLG Records).
The hints had been piling up for months. Back in January, Kelley posted an Instagram clip captioned around a hike with “T-Hubb” that cut to a meme of Jon Hamm losing it at a club. The comments lit up — Hubbard fired back with walking emojis and a flexed bicep, HARDY joked about dusting off his FGL songwriting, and ERNEST dubbed it the hike heard ’round the world. Then on the ACM Awards red carpet last month, Hubbard admitted the two had been flirting with the idea of playing a handful of shows in 2027.
And let’s not forget how this all started: 2012’s monster debut “Cruise” kicked off a hit parade that ran through “Round Here,” “Stay,” “This Is How We Roll,” “Dirt,” “H.O.L.Y.,” “Simple,” and “Long Live.”
The Core Entertainment — led by co-founders and co-CEOs Simon Tikhman and Kevin “Chief” Zaruk — is no small player either. Their roster includes Nickelback, Dan + Shay, Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith, Cameron Whitcomb, and Josh Ross, among others.
Which gets us thinking… with FGL officially back under The Core’s roof, maybe it’s time we got the real scoop straight from the top. Stay tuned, CRANKiT Nation — we’ve got a feeling Chief himself might have a thing or two worth sharing. 🎸
