Tickets at Kent’s ShoWare Center for country duo Florida Georgia Line, with special guests Colt Ford and Dallas Smith, sold out in less than two hours.
The concert isn’t until Dec. 14 but fans bought up the tickets on Oct. 4, setting a record for the fastest sellout of a concert at the ShoWare
The “Here’s to the Good Times Tour” has been having record-breaking sellouts in venues across the nation
“SMG is excited to partner with the city of Kent in bringing Florida Georgia Line to the region,” said Tim Higgins, SMG general manager for ShoWare Center in a media release. “This record-breaking sellout demonstrates that the ShoWare Center is an established entertainment venue for all country artists. Many thanks to all of the local country-music fans, Kevin Neal at Buddy Lee Attractions, and of course Florida Georgia Line for making this a record-breaking concert event.”
Florida Georgia Line has skyrocketed since releasing back-to-back-to-back, multi-week No. 1 smashes in the U.S. and Canada with “Round Here,” “Get Your Shine On” and “Cruise,” which combined with the Top 10-and-climbing (Top 40 Charts) remix featuring Nelly, has sold nearly 6 million downloads. The record–breaking duo of Tyler Hubbard (Monroe, Ga.) and Brian Kelley (Ormond Beach, Fla.), is the first in 21 years to top the country airplay charts with their first three singles, according to Billboard. In April, they won the ACM New Artist of the Year and New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year awards and in June won two CMT Awards. Florida Georgia Line is also nominated for four CMA Awards.
