Celebrating 25 years and reuniting after a long five-year hiatus, South Dakota fans welcomed Rascal Flatts back to the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center stage.

This epic Thursday night concert was only the beginning of major shows coming to Sioux Falls in 2025. The Rascal Flatts gave Sioux Empire fans a night of nostalgia and mixed in some new songs!

The Life Is A Highway Tour brought country fans "back to life" on Thursday night at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center. There wasn't a single person in the crowd who wasn't dancing or singing along, including me! The best part about the show? My twin sister Katie came to town to join the major Rascal Flatts party!

Not only did Rascal Flatts light up the Sioux Falls stage, but they also brought country singers Chris Lane and soon-to-be mom Lauren Alaina. If you missed out on any of the action at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center on Thursday night, check out all the highlights from the concert! I'm glad I didn't miss this show!

Lauren Alaina was here for the party! She is very pregnant. She told Sioux Falls she's 7-months along, and she still kicked butt on stage! The crowd loved her rendition of this Gretchen Wilson song.

Although Kane Brown wasn't at the show, Lauren still performed their  duet "What Ifs." Fun fact: Lauren met Kane Brown in middle school in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.

"Road Less Traveled" is one of Lauren Alaina's big hit songs after 'American Idol.' Sioux Falls was singing every word!

This was my first time seeing Chris Lane in concert. I was not disappointed. He started his set with his 2016 hit song "Fix."

"Take Back Home Girl" is a duet that Chris Lane recorded with pop singer Tori Kelly in 2017. Chris asked the crowd to sing her part, and Sioux Falls answered!

Chris Lane gave Sioux Falls a surprise and said hello to the crowd. Sorry for the rough video! Haha it was quick thinking on my end.

Towards the end of his set, Chris Lane gave the audience a taste of 90s country music. He played songs from Brooks & Dunn, George Strait, and the late Toby Keith.

The wait was over...Rascal Flatts made their long return to the stage and Sioux Falls. It's good to see them!

Sioux Falls Welcomes Back Rascal Flatts

Sioux Falls..."it's yours if you want it!" "Yours If You Want It" is from the group's 10th album, "Back to Us."

If you hear someone singing...it's me. I really love this song. It was released in March of 2005.

"Mayberry" was one of the first songs Rascal Flatts played. Gary LeVox almost forgot the words. He was just testing us, ha!

The night of nostalgia continued with "My Wish" from 2006. Everyone was singing along.

My sister and I love this song. Whenever it came on the radio, we would always sing it in the car together. Needless to say, that tradition continued on Thursday night.

One of Rascal Flatts' earliest hit songs, "These Days" took everyone back to 2002. Like I said, it was a night of memories!

Jay DeMarcus did a great job leading the crowd in singing Neil Diamond's classic "Sweet Caroline." It was loud!

The weather in South Dakota has recently been giving us warm, summer feelings. One of the last songs of the night from Rascal Flatts was "Summer Nights" from 2009.

Naturally, Rascal Flatts ended the show with their rendition of "Life Is A Highway." They had Lauren Alaina and Chris Lane join the fun!
