The show, hosted by Hoda Kotb of the Today Show, also included on-stage interviews with Billy Corgan, Tanishe, Rae Sremmurd, Metric and Mick Jones of Foreigner.

Florida Georgia Line took the stage at around 5:30 p.m. ET and started their set with "Anything Goes," their album's title track. It visibly took them a moment to adjust to playing to such a small room, as they haven't been out of stadium-sizes in a minute. When their guitarist and bassist, who are used to much bigger stages, wanted to do a solo and rock out, respectively, it became a little overwhelming. Brian Kelly solved the problem by ditching his guitar for the next two songs, taking a moment after the firs to flicks his pick into the very female audience and illicit squeals. The guys rounded our their set by playing their current single, "Sippin' on Fire," and their massive summer jam, "Cruise."

By the time they finished, both Kelly and Tyler Hubbard were sweating, proving they were doing all they could in the air-conditioned venue to work it hard for the audience of under a thousand lucky people.
