Brian Kelley has no regrets.<\/p>\n

When we were on the phone to talk about Florida Georgia Line<\/a>\u2019s new music, new tour, and their new year, Kelley told me that he cannot remember a New Year\u2019s Eve that he wants to forget.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve really all been good,\u201d Kelley said.<\/p>\n

But this year \u2014 when the duo plays the Allstate Fan Fest in New Orleans, before the Allstate Sugar Bowl \u2014 he is pretty sure it will be the best New Year\u2019s Eve yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the best part of this year is that we\u2019re putting on a free concert for everybody. And we\u2019re always glad to team up with a partner who believes in throwing free concerts,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause that\u2019s part of our story: as a fan, I\u2019ve been to so many free concerts and that\u2019s part of the reason I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re not technically in New Orleans for the show, you can feel like you are. You\u2019ll be able to catch the Florida Georgia Line performance when it broadcasts live from the French Quarter during the Dick Clark\u2019s New Year\u2019s Rockin\u2019 Eve with Ryan Seacrest.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lucy Hale will be hosting the New Orleans part of the two-city celebration. And Seacrest will be right in the heart of Times Square to host the New York City part of the show. \u201cIt\u2019s a really cool night, it\u2019s something we\u2019ve never done, and it means we can connect with our fans all over the world,\u201d Kelley added.<\/p>\n

And Kelley knows just what it means to be a part of the legendary New Year\u2019s celebration, because he played it in 2014 to ring in 2015. \u201cWe did the New Year\u2019s Rockin\u2019 Eve Special<\/em> in New York City,\u201d Kelley said, \u201cand that was absolutely amazing. It was insanity, it was cold, it was a blast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just such a cool experience, because all your life you grow up watching the ball drop on TV, and then you\u2019re there playing music as part of the show. It just kind of feels like an out-of-body experience there for a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s gig is a little closer to his home in Florida, he said, so he is looking forward to driving over to New Orleans, ringing in 2019, and staying for a couple days.<\/p>\n

This New Year\u2019s Eve show is also kind of the fans\u2019 one last chance to see Florida Georgia Line, after their Las Vegas residency wrapped but before their string of shows in to Australia in March.<\/p>\n
