Kenny Chesney Announces 2024 Stadium Tour

Kenny Chesney has just announced a new stadium tour dubbed "Sun Goes Down Tour," kicking off April 20, 2024, at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium; the tour will run through August 23 at Foxborough, Massachusetts's Gillette Stadium for what has become a tradition: closing out the tour in a venue Chesney has played to well over a million people.

Kenny said, "I wanted a name that suggested – obviously – when all the good stuff starts to happen. The one thing I've learned about No Shoes Nation and these stadium shows is they start the good times early, and they just keep it going. But we all know, when the sun goes down, that's when people really get loose and enjoy themselves."

He added, "That was the thing about Uncle Kracker and my song. It captured a vibe and a moment so perfectly. No matter how much fun you're having all day long, 'everything gets hotter when the sun goes down...' I know from years of experience that's true."

Chesney gushed, "I can't wait to get back out there, stadium-sized, 'cause there's nothing like 60,000 members of No Shoes Nation singing these songs. It's gonna be awesome."

Tickets for these major stadium shows will go on sale next Friday, November. 17.

Joining Kenny on the tour are Zac Brown Band, Megan Moroney, and Uncle Kracker. He said, "Zac Brown Band understands high-energy country, the same way Alabama did, and they've got our friend Caroline Jones in their line-up now, too. Megan Moroney isn't just one of the smart new voices in country; she's really bringing a sense of heart and joy to the music – and I'm fired up to be bringing her out to No Shoes Nation."

He concluded, "And Uncle Kracker has been part of so many fun times, crazy moments, and memories made; it always kicks things up a notch when he's out there with us. So, it really is old friends, new friends, and a whole lotta love."

Kenny Chesney is one country star who can fill a stadium in almost every U.S. city. Last week ( 3/23), he kicked off his "I Go Back Tour" with opener and fellow East Tennessee native Kelsea Ballerini.

Kenny commented on the tour on Instagram in part back when he announced it in November, "No Shoes Nation, I'm so excited to finally announce the #IGoBackTour 2023 with special guest Kelsea Ballerini. 'I Go Back' is a song about holding all those things that shaped you very close and keeping them alive any way you can. In 2023, I decided rather than just go repeat what we did on this summer's stadium tour; I wanted to take this band and these songs to a lot of the cities we played on our way up, call it the I Go Back Tour, and do just that."
