Rascal Flatts Appears To Be Reuniting In 2025 As Norfolk, Virginia Patriotic Festival Teases Lineup

Frost up those tips, because it looks like Rascal Flatts is ready to make a comeback. The band had their farewell tour canceled back in 2020 because of COVID, after announcing at the beginning of the year that they would be going their separate ways. Well concerts finally started coming back the next year, but ultimately the farewell tour was canceled after LeVox said in an interview with People that guitarist Joe Don Rooney had "quit the band." Rooney was also arrested for DUI in 2021 after crashing into a tree and blaming it on a deer, and ended up pleading guilty to the charge in 2022. But earlier this year, Rooney revealed that he's been sober since he went through rehab, as well as going through a divorce with his then-wife , Tiffany Fallon. Meanwhile, LeVox and bass guitarist Jay DeMarcus have both been pursuing their own new ventures, with LeVox working on his solo career while DeMarcus has formed a band called Generation Radio alongside former vocalist for Chicago, Jason Scheff, as well as former Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers drummer Steve Ferrone. The prospect of a reunion seemed pretty remote as recently as last year, when DeMarcus all but dismissed the idea of the original band reuniting any time soon: "I would want to say never say never. But we're in such different places right now and don't really communicate on a consistent basis. There are just so many steps that would have to take place in order for us to get back to even talking about it." But after a recent post on the band's social media, those folks got their hopes up that it's finally happening. The band posted a picture with the caption: "We’re feeling nostalgic..Share your favorite Rascal Flatts tour memories and tag us so we can see them." That had fans speculating in the comments that a reunion was on the way - and it looks like they might be right. The Patriot Festival in Norfolk, Virginia posted a teaser of their upcoming lineup, featuring silhouettes of all the performers before the official announcement on October 4. And folks think they recognize one of the bands: That definitely looks LeVox and his spiky hair in the middle. Of course we can't see the bedazzled jeans to know for sure, but it definitely appears that the middle-aged women hoping for a Rascal Flatts comeback show might be getting their wish.
