Cole Swindell Plans to Ring in the New Year with Family
"I don’t know the last time I got to start off a brand new year with those folks," Swindell says of his family in South Georgia.
While many fans of Cole Swindell may imagine him to be partying it up ‘til the crack of dawn when it comes to his New Year’s Eve plans, he actually wants to keep it simple to bring in 2017.
The country singer is set to perform the halftime show at the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl down in Florida during the day, so it gives him ample time to gear up for the crazy festivities the night could hold. But rather than get caught up in the hubbub that is NYE in the midst of a giant city or a crowded party, Swindell hopes to just be surrounded by the people he holds close to his heart.
Spending time with his friends at the game and then roadtripping to his native Georgia is all Swindell has on his mind at the moment to calm things down for the lively holiday.
“With Louisville-LSU there, it’s gonna be a great game. I got some buddies that will be down there for the game and we just may stay down after the Citrus Bowl and celebrate there, or go back home. I got a new truck the other day that I’m excited about, so I’m gonna have it down and I’m probably gonna just drive, make my way back down to Georgia from Orlando out of the Citrus Bowl and just enjoy some downtime,” Swindell shared with Sounds Like Nashville over the phone recently.
At the end of the day though, Swindell hopes to ring in the New Year with those who matter most: his family.
“I usually have a show somewhere on New Year’s Eve night, but to have that night to spend and just bring in the New Year, I may just head back home after the game and start it with my family. I don’t know the last time I got to start off a brand new year with those folks, so this whole holidays, Christmas, New Year’s, I’m looking forward to just being down in south Georgia and catching up with a lot of the people I usually have to text or talk to on the phone. So it’s gonna be amazing.”
Swindell will take some time off to relax before heading out on the What the Hell Tour with Dierks Bentley and Jon Pardi. Dates and ticket information are available on Swindell’s website now.
