Kenny Chesney To Take Over Las Vegas Sphere For 12-Date Residency
Kenny Chesney will bring his No Shoes Nation to the Sphere in Las Vegas for 12-date residency, starting in May. He will be the first country artist to entertain in the innovative venue.
“I’m always looking for ways to deepen the way No Shoes Nation experiences this music,” shares Chesney, who played his 200th stadium show in 2024. “Over the years, they have shown me through their own response to these songs how passionate they are about what they mean, how these songs are part of their lives. When people give you that much heart, I want to give them even more.
“When we started talking about all of the possibilities playing Sphere offered, I was all in. Just the idea of 4D technology and the impossibly dialed in sound raises the experience for No Shoes Nation, literally immersing them in music, visuals, sound and being together. To me, this is going to be a whole new way of rocking the fans, and I can’t wait.”
The only country artist to rank in Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years for 15 consecutive years, Chesney joins cultural icons like U2, Dead & Company, Eagles, Phish, and Afterlife Presents Anyma to headline the 17,600-seat spherical venue.
With technology so advanced, the video content had to be shot on a special camera developed specifically for Sphere’s configuration. It excited Chesney so much that he agreed to the residency without ever attending a concert there.
He shares, “When we started talking, I flew to Vegas with my key tour team. We stood on the floor as they ran the film of U2’s show and we were completely consumed. We could see the band, but it was so much more than that. It almost took what they were doing and multiplied it by another dimension.
“Knowing how much intensity our shows generate, my mind started thinking about all the things we could do. Once you see how the show wraps all the way around you, the dreaming begins.”
