Tour Presented by Blue Chair Bay Rum
Pre-Sales Begin Today, General Sales Begin October 27
With Live from No Shoes Nation, the 30-song live recording celebrating the heart and soul of the million+ fans who come out each summer to see Chesney live, hitting streets Oct. 27, Kenny is ready to get back to the fans. After a few weeks progress working with various organizations to deal with the devastation in the Virgin Islands, the 8-time ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year announces the stadium portion of his 2018 Trip Around The Sun Tour.
Listening to all those tapes of all those shows led to Live in No Shoes Nation, Chesney says. And playing those two nights in Foxboro this year made me really want to get out there with all the people who LIVE this music. We have so much fun, so much life, so many memories all tied up in these shows and these songs I am ready to get out there and kick into another summer where we can all celebrate how lucky we are to love life and be able to come together.
Kicking off April 21 at Tampas Raymond James Stadium, the 2018 Trip Around the Sun Tour will gather up all that energy and all the new songs from The Big Revival and Cosmic Hallelujah, mix them with everyones favorites, add in a few wild cards and hit the road like only Chesney can. Joining him for this years trip around the sun will be Academy of Country Music Male Vocalist and Country Music Association and ACM Single of the Year winner Thomas Rhett (Die a Happy Man, It Goes Like This, Craving You (feat. Maren Morris)), ACM Best New Group and CMA double nominee Old Dominion (Break Up with Him, Song for Another Time) and breaking through artist/songwriter Brandon Lay (Speakers, Bleachers and Preachers).
There's nothing like a stadium full of people coming together to remind you what life's about, he says. The energy, the moments, the fun. Every single one of these artists whore coming out with us for Trip Around the Sun live their lives the exact same way: they work hard, they appreciate what they are given and they love music every bit as much as they love life. I, personally, cant wait to see this show hit the road. For Kenny, whos been called The King of the Road by Wall Street Journal and The Peoples Superstar by the The Los Angeles Times, there is nowhere he feels more alive than when hes onstage. His stadium shows are a rite of summer for many, and the songwriter/superstar from East Tennessee has built his career by striving to give people a night that defines their summer.
Tickets for the Trip Around the Sun will be available at kennychesney.com/triparoundthesun.
