Last year, country trio Rascal Flatts came roaring back to life with their first tour since 2019. Billed as an outing celebrating 25 years in the business, it was also a reunion for lead singer Gary LaVox, his second cousin (bass, vocals) Jay DeMarcus and guitarist Joe Don Rooney (guitar, vocals).

The guys had a tremendous first 15 or so years, but things started to fall apart after 2017’s relative flop “Back to Us.” In 2020, they announced they were embarking on a farewell tour that never happened due to the pandemic. Relations between the three soured in 2021 and following Rooney’s DUI arrest that September, the group quietly disbanded.

But after a few years of underwhelming solo efforts, the trio kissed and made up. Now settling into their new role as a nostalgia act, Rascal Flatts pulled in enough fans to make the 2025 tour a success and spawn a second leg that drew a crowd of about 13,000 to St. Paul’s Grand Casino Arena on Friday.

Judging by their sometimes frosty on-stage demeanor, however, it appears there may still be a few lingering grudges between them. LaVox, in particular, largely ignored his bandmates and, at times, felt like he was performing at a different concert then the rest of the guys on stage.

Now in their 50s, the three men’s vocals have largely held up, as was in evidence during audience pleasers like “Fast Cars and Freedom,” “Mayberry” and “These Days.” Early on, DeMarcus took center stage and delivered an impassioned pitch for Christianity. Rooney also shared a moment with the crowd and told them the story of how his DUI led him to a successful trip to rehab.

LeVox brought one of his openers, Lauren Alaina, to help him out on the power ballad “My Wish.” The “American Idol” vet boasts a big voice. As her own set proved, she’s also well versed at warming up crowds having toured with everyone from Carrie Underwood to Luke Bryan. (Chris Lane of “Fix” and “For Her” fame, was also on the bill.)

Later, DeMarcus performed a solo take of “Sweet Caroline” at the piano, which led into their 2004 cover of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s “Bless the Broken Road,” the group’s longest-running No. 1 single at five weeks. And, of course, they played their take on Tom Cochrane’s “Life Is a Highway,” which got a massive boost after it was used in the 2006 Pixar film “Cars.”

Rascal Flatts has scored more than 30 Top 10 hits, so it was a little surprising that they wrapped things up in a scant 95 minutes. Then again, Friday’s show was a reminder that much of Rascal Flatts’ output can get overly glossy and insincere, so maybe that wasn’t such a bad thing after all.
