In February, Rascal Flatts will be hitting the road for their 25th anniversary Life Is a Highway tour.
“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," said Rascal Flatts in a press release statement in October 2024
