KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The popular country band Florida Georgia Line has canceled all their "I Love My Country Tour 2021" dates, including their concert set for Kansas City, because of COVID-19.
The band was set to appear in Kansas City at the T-Mobile Center on Oct. 30 but announced on Twitter that, due to safety concerns, they would not proceed with the tour.
While we’ve been able to see some of y’all at shows recently, everyone’s continued safety has been weighing heavy on us. We’re so bummed to have to cancel this tour, but we love y’all and can’t wait to be back out when the time is right. pic.twitter.com/pSJSHVYzUS
