It was a warm night and the energy in the air signified what summer is all about. The parking lots were crowded with people laughing, dancing and tailgating. Florida Georgia Line was here, and the people couldn’t be more ready to experience the Dig Your Roots tour, with Cole Swindell, The Cadillac Three, and Kane Brown. There was this energy that people have been waiting for this concert when it was first announced, and everyone could not wait to get to their seats.

Kane Brown got the show started, followed by The Cadillac Three, to which the stadium was just filling up. It got to be about eight o’clock when the lights dimmed, and the CS appeared, to which the crowd went nuts. Cole Swindell put on one hell of a performance with songs like You Should Be Here, Middle of a Memory, and my personal favorite Chillin’ It. His set lasted about thirty five minutes, when the lights came on and the stage was being prepped for Florida Georgia Line. About fifteen minutes in, everyone was getting restless, then all of the sudden the place went dark.

A quick little intro occurred showing some pictures of Tyler and BK, then the guitar hit, the curtain fell, and there they were coming down from the ceiling on one of their light fixtures. They opened with Round Here, to which the crowd was going bananas. Everyone was on their feet dancing and singing, and right there we all knew we were in for a performance we would never forget.

It seemed as if every single song was a hit, with tunes like Anything Goes, This is How We Roll, and even slowed it down for HOLY, as well as May We All.
