‘Life is a Highway’ that brings Rascal Flatts to South MS. Look who’s coming with them

Rascal Flatts is back on tour and heading ‘straight for you’ at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi.

The country band with hits such as “Life is a Highway,” “Bless the Broken Road,” “Fast Cars and Freedom,” “What Hurts the Most” and “My Wish” will take the stage in Biloxi on Feb. 19 on their 21-stop “Life is a Highway” 25th anniversary tour.

Tickets for the Live Nation concert go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 15, through Ticketmaster and other ticket platforms. They also are available at the Coast Coliseum box office.

“We’re looking for a very big show,” said Matt McDonnell, executive director of the Coast Coliseum, and he will have several more shows to announce in the coming weeks for performances in early 2026, he said.

This 25th anniversary year is the first tour for Rascal Flatts since 2019. The band has played the Coast Coliseum before, McDonnell said, most recently in the late 1990s or early 2000s. The band’s 90s style of country music is making a comeback with fans, he said, and their songs are the ultimate crowd sing-alongs.

Opening for Rascal Flatts are Lauren Alaina, who finished second to Scotty McCreery on season 10 of “American Idol” and Chris Lane, who auditioned for “American Idol” with his twin brother and has three top hits: ”Fix,“ “I Don’t Know About You“ and “Big, Big Plans.

Alaina had her first top hit with “Road Less Traveled,” and followed it with “All My Exes” (with Chase Matthew), “What Ifs” (with Kane Brown), “One Beer” (with HARDY) and “Getting Over Him” (with Jon Pardi).

Ticket packages vary by location and may include premium tickets, invitation to the Rascal Flatts VIP Lounge, autographed tour posters and VIP exclusive gifts.
