(DENVER, Colo.) Country music sensation Florida Georgia Line will be live-streamed at Star Drive-In in Monte Vista, Tru Vu Drive-In in Delta and Holiday Twin Drive-In Theatre in Fort Collins Saturday as part of the Encore Drive-In Nights concert series.

The concert will consist of a never-before-seen performance taking place at sundown and will additionally be shown at hundreds of drive-ins, outdoor theaters and indoor venues across the nation and world. Florida Georgia Line is the latest iconic group to join the Encore Drive-In Nights concert series, which has teamed up with other superstar acts including Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton and Bon Jovi.

"When the pandemic hit, it crushed my business. I was searching for a way to get back to work and ultimately the world, particularly when you think back to the early months of the pandemic, was a very dark time in America, so I told my team we have to find something to bring joy and happiness to the country," said Encore Drive-In Nights CEO Walter Kinzie. "I reached into my phone and the first guy I called was Garth Brooks and we talked about it for an hour and on June 11, Garth went on Good Morning America to announce the formation of this company."

On June 27, 2020, Encore Drive-In Nights held its first show, producing the largest ticketed event in Garth Brooks history, according to Kinzie.

Fans who attend the concert series Saturday will get a chance to hear some of Florida Georgia Line's biggest hits as well as chart-topping singles from the duo's album "Life Rolls On", released on Feb. 12 of this year, including "Long Live" and "I Love My Country". The concert will be safe, fun, convenient and affordable, with tickets costing $74 per car.

Each car that attends the drive-in concert will be allowed up to six people in their vehicle for the cost of $74, as each ticket admits one car. Since the concert will be viewed from a vehicle in a tailgating experience, families are encouraged to bring toddlers and young children with them, unlike traditional arena concerts.

Concertgoers are encouraged to show up 30 to 45 minutes before the show starts at sundown to enjoy a pre-show with songwriter Shy Carter. Following Shy will be a 100-minute show from the Florida Georgia line, with guest appearances from artists that the duo has created duets with, including Nelly and Chase Rice.

Kinzie thrives in putting on an amazing show and personally gave Florida Georgia Line $50,000 to produce pyrotechnics for the show to make the experience that much more entertaining for fans nationwide.

"We were talking about their show and I handed them $50,000 and said I want there to be explosions, don't let me down," Kinzie said. "I look forward to continuing to produce affordable and accessible top-notch content."
