Robin Roberts and the Good Morning America crew will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into putting on a show the size of Kenny Chesney’s. The TV crew visited him at Lincoln Financial Fields, the home of the Philadelphia Eagles, over the weekend.

The show set up a time lapse camera last Monday to capture the Big Revival build from the ground up, and Roberts was there to see the lights go up, hear the sound check tweaks, and visit with the man who is the only country act to make Billboard’s list of the Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years.

Chesney has been playing Lincoln Financial Field almost as long as he’s been headlining summer stadium tours. It was his eighth appearance there, and he broke his own record for a single night country music show, selling 55,131 tickets to his Big Revival 2015 Tour.

The tour will visit 23 stadiums over the summer, with upcoming stops including Minneapolis’ Target Field for two nights (July 18-19). Then Chesney will become the first country act to play Pasadena’s Rose Bowl July 25.
