The Nashville star has announced 12 shows at the state-of-the-art Las Vegas venue
The No Shoes Nation fandom will descend upon Las Vegas in May when Kenny Chesney comes to Sphere for a 12-show residency. He’ll be the fifth act — and the first from country music — to headline the groundbreaking venue following U2, Phish, Dead & Company, and the Eagles.
“I’m always looking for ways to deepen the way No Shoes Nation experiences this music,” Chesney says in a statement. “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.”
The shows will be a rare chance to see Chesney outside of the massive football stadiums he usually hits on tour. “When we started talking about all of the possibilities playing Sphere offered, I was all in,” he says. “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.”
He signed on for the shows after experiencing U2’s V – U2:UV an Immersive Concert Film at the venue alongside members of his touring team. “We were completely consumed,” Chesney said. “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.”
The residency kicks off May 22 and finishes June 14, shortly after Dead & Company wrap up a long run of shows at the venue. As of now, they are the only dates Chesney has on the books for 2025. Ticket sales begin January 31. VIP packages will be offered through kennychesney.vibee.com.
