NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Celebrating 50 years as one of country music’s most enduring duos, The Bellamy Brothers have returned to the U.S. following a milestone, sold out tour across Norway. The run brought together generations of fans, connecting across eras and reaffirming that their music continues to resonate on a global scale.
Presented by longtime partners 929 Produksjon AS and Stageway Norway, the tour marked The Bellamy Brothers third run through Norway, further solidifying their presence in the country’s live music scene.
“This marks my third tour with the Bellamy Brothers in Norway, and each one has been a tremendous success,” said Kjell Ove Torkildsen of 929 Produksjon AS. “From the very first run in 2019 to this year’s sold-out shows, it’s clear that their music is exactly what fans here want to hear. The Bellamys’ songs are everlasting, passed down from generation to generation in Scandinavia, and their setlist is nothing short of perfect. They sound just as wonderful today as they did decades ago, and I look forward to welcoming them back for another tour in 2027.”
Audiences across nine cities were treated to a career spanning setlist, blending chart-topping hits like “Let Your Love Flow” and “Redneck Girl” with songs that have become fan favorites over the decades. Each performance carried the energy of both celebration and legacy, with fans of all ages turning out to honor the Bellamy Brothers’ half century career.
Beyond the stage, the Bellamy Brothers continue to broaden their reach with a variety of projects. The second season of their hit reality series Honky Tonk Ranch is available on the American Country Network, giving viewers a candid look at life on and off the stage, blending their busy tour schedule with the daily adventures of running their Florida ranch. They’ve also released a collaboration with The Isaacs, “Normal Ain’t Coming Back,” which has resonated deeply with fans for its heartfelt harmonies and timely message.
They also remain active in the medical marijuana space with their Trulieve partnership. Their brand, Old Hippie Stash, offers fan-favorite strains such as the Rattler and Blue Rodeo in selected states.
With a global touring schedule, The Bellamy Brothers remain one of country music’s most consistent international acts. Their return from Norway adds another chapter to a career defined by longevity, authenticity, and an enduring bond with their audience.

ABOUT BELLAMY BROTHERS
Celebrated worldwide for their smooth harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and a mix of humor and clever themes, the Bellamy Brothers continue entertaining fans globally today as the duo approaches its 50th anniversary in the fall of 2025. David and Howard Bellamy, originally from Darby, Florida, catapulted to fame in the 1970s with their beloved smash hit “Let Your Love Flow” (1976), which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following that pop success, they transitioned more into country music, becoming a staple of the genre through the 1980s with dozens of hits including “If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me,” “Redneck Girl,” “Do You Love as Good as You Look,” and “Old Hippie,” to name a few. The aforementioned “
Old Hippie” is the name brand of their medical cannabis line with Trulieve. “If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me),” originally scrawled on a dinner napkin by David, rocketed them to the top of the country charts the way “Let Your Love Flow,” had done in the pop market just a few years earlier. It proved to be the first of a string of 14 No. 1 singles in the U.S. alone. They’re the only U.S. country music act who’ve toured commercially. Before forming their duo, both brothers played in various bands in the late 1960s and early ’70s. David wrote the song “Spiders and Snakes,” which became a hit for Jim Stafford in 1974. That success gave David his first big break in the music industry. By the 1990s, the Bellamy Brothers took a bold step and started releasing music independently under their own label, Bellamy Brothers Records. This allowed them greater creative freedom and a more direct relationship with their fans. They also began cultivating a massive international following, particularly in Europe, where country music continued to grow in popularity. Countries like Germany, Norway, and Switzerland became strongholds for their fanbase, and they’ve continued to tour internationally with massive success. In 2002, they won the CMA International Artist Achievement Award. The Bellamy Brothers hold the record in both the Academy of Country Music (ACM) and the Country Music Association Awards (CMA) for the most duo nominations without winning. Numerous Grammy nods have also been directed toward the brothers. The Bellamys have also opened up their lives to television audiences with their reality show, “
Honky Tonk Ranch,” which chronicles their “unusual lives, blending music stardom, vigorous road tours and cattle ranching (Tampa Bay Times).” The first four seasons feature special guest appearances from Dennis Quaid, Blake Shelton, Tanya Tucker, Lauren Alaina, Joe Diffie, Johnny Lee, Gene Watson and many more of their famous friends. Each episode captivates viewers by the unpredictable misadventures the Bellamys face while balancing their globe-trotting touring schedule while running their sprawling family ranch in south Florida. Viewers can now watch episodes on American Country Network. In 2024, the duo released
Double Dog Dare via Bellamy Brothers Records and Select-O-Hits. The 12-song collection includes their “sublimely country (MusicRow)” collaboration, “Forever Ain’t Long Enough” with Gene Watson and “I’d Lie to You For Your Love” featuring the late K.T. Oslin. In November of 2024, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted David Bellamy into the prestigious class of songwriters during the 54th Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala. This year, the brothers achieved another monumental moment when “Let Your Love Flow” served as the soundtrack for Budweiser’s new Super Bowl ad titled “
First Delivery” featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales. The ad featuring the Bellamy’s became the No. 1 commercial according to USA TODAY’s Ad Meter contest by viewers.
