Kenny Chesney is taking his “Here And Now 2022” tour to 20 amphitheaters in addition to the 21 already-set stadium shows on the upcoming cross-country trek.
Kicking off April 23 in Tampa, Florida, at Raymond James Stadium, the tour will feature newly-added amphitheater shows in Huntsville, Virginia Beach, Boise, Syracuse, and more. The summer-long tour will wrap with what has become a No Shoes Nation tradition: an already almost sold-out double-play at Foxborough, Massachusetts’ Gillette Stadium on Aug. 26-27.
“There is something about amphitheaters that creates an immediacy that is so intimate,” Chesney shares. “The energy is very different from a stadium show, and it almost opens the songs up in completely different ways. It’s pretty cool to feel that difference between the two kinds of venues, but I can tell you: both are absolutely the greatest sensations in the world.
“I never thought we’d be away from No Shoes Nation for three years,” he continued. “Now that we finally have the chance to spend the summer together again, I really wanted to provide as many opportunities as possible for everyone to come out and celebrate the music with us; the sense of community and the way we all feel so alive when we’re together celebrating what we love. Whether stadiums or amphitheaters, I can’t wait to see my favorite people in the world.”
Tickets for the new dates go on sale Friday, Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. local time.
The 8x Entertainer of the Year recently got the chance to celebrate his current single, “Knowing You,” hitting the top of the charts. The country icon and a collection of Nashville’s music executives gathered at The Sutler to commemorate his 34th No. 1 song at country radio.
