KENNY GETS SINGLE FOR HERE AND NOW KICK-OFF
For Kenny, taking his music on the road is his way of making the promise of his songs come to life. It is how No Shoes Nation was built, and it’s the way friendships have been forged summer after summer since kicking off his true headlining life at the Coral Sky Amphitheater in West Palm Beach in 2002.
Having been put on sale 932 days from when he will finally raise the pirate flag at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium, Kenny Chesney’s Here And Now 2022 Tour will finally hit the road! With reigning Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Female Vocalist of the Year Carly Pearce on all dates, plus five-time Academy of Country Music and four-time Country Music Association Group of the Year Old Dominion and three-time GRAMMY-winning Vocal Duo/Group Dan + Shay on the stadium dates, it promises to be quite a summer.
“I can’t believe how long it’s been,” Kenny muses. “I close my eyes, and I can hear the roar of No Shoes Nation, but to not feel that energy in my veins. It’s been so long, I can’t wait to get back out there to see the faces, to hear the voices singing these songs – and to share the love that’s like no other.”
Three years since playing many of his favorite places for three years, the man The Los Angeles Times deemed “The People’s Superstar” wants to make sure everyone who wants to come can be a part of what so many have been waiting for. With surprisingly limited ticket returns, a hard ticket count of well over 50,000 – excluding suites – finding seats and opening up slices of the stadiums has been a challenge Chesney’s been at work on.
“I’ve asked my friends at Messina Touring to find more seats more than a couple times,” says Kenny of his shows. “We are a month out from kicking off, and I don’t want anyone who’s missed this music as much as I’ve missed them to not be able to be there. So, once again we’re less than a thousand open tickets...and a lot of them are singles, maybe a few pairs...
“But I want to throw this out there: No Shoes Nation is one of the friendliest places in the world. I can hear the tail-gating from the bus, the music and the laughter. I kinda wanna call it Club Singles, for the people who’re willing to just buy a ticket, come sit where they sit – even if they’re not with their friends – and make some more friends along the way.”
With twenty-two stadium plays, the Here And Now 2022 Tour will run straight through the summer – including stops at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High, Detroit’s Ford Field, Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field – before closing out with a two-night-stand at Boston’s Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. on August 26-27.
For Kenny, the only country artist in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 25 Live Artists in 25 Years, whose “Everyone She Knows” celebrates free-spirited women blazing their own path, it’s all about celebrating the triumphs, the friendships, the new things and the songs everyone loves by heart.
“We have some surprises,” Kenny says. “We have some songs people really love. But mostly, we have all this music, all these nights, all the energy of No Shoes Nation coming together. Tampa, I can’t wait to see all of you April 23 at Raymond James Stadium.”
