[UPDATE 1/23/25]: Citing overwhelming demand, Kenny Chesney has added three new concerts to his upcoming spring/summer Sphere residency. The singer-songwriter who will become the first country artist to play at Sphere and sixth overall will perform at the state-of-the-art immersive venue into mid-June [ticketing information].
Chesney’s 12-show run was originally scheduled to end on Saturday, June 14th, but will now extend through Wednesday, June 18th, Friday, June 20th, and Saturday, June 21st. Per a press release from MSG Entertainment, Sphere will be the smallest crowd the amphitheater and arena touring juggernaut has played to this century. Commenting on the demand from fans—before tickets for the first 12 shows even went on sale—Chesney said “I wanted to take No Shoes Nation into another dimension. Evidently, they are more than ready to go.”
“I know the rush we feel onstage in those football stadiums – with very little production, just this amazing band, the songs and truly, the people who come to see us,” Chesney said of Sphere’s groundbreaking audiovisual capabilities. “To put all of that in a building capable of what Sphere delivers? Wraparound sound, a roof, the fact it’s only 17,600 people. There was no way we weren’t going to do it.”
Tickets to all 15 Kenny Chesney shows at Sphere will go on sale to the general public on Friday, January 31st at 10 a.m. PT here. Pre-sales for the newly added shows will begin Friday. January 24th at 10 a.m. PT for the June 18 show, 12 p.m. PT for the June 20 show and 2 p.m. PT for the June 21 show. Scroll down for more details and a full list of dates.
[1/16/25]: Kenny Chesney will be the next artist to perform at Sphere. Known for his marathon live shows, Chesney will harness the power MSG Entertainment‘s cutting-edge Las Vegas venue for 12 nights this spring, making him the first country artist to perform at Sphere and the sixth artist to do so after U2, Phish, Dead & Company, Eagles, and Anyma [ticketing information].
“I’m always looking for ways to deepen the way No Shoes Nation experiences this music,” Chesney said. “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.”
Chesney will make his Sphere debut on Thursday, May 22nd, just days after Dead & Company wrap their 18-show residency on the 17th. Over the course of four weeks, he will perform on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights, utilizing Sphere’s groundbreaking immersive visuals and state-of-the-art audio to deliver his most innovative shows to date.
Chesney was so excited to play at Sphere, he signed on without ever seeing a live show at the venue and kept the news under wraps for nearly a year as he worked with his team and experts from Sphere Studios’ tech and creative teams to develop a totally new music experience that will bring his songs to life like never before.
“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.”
As with previous Sphere artists, Vibee will serve as the official VIP Concert & Hotel Package partner for Kenny Chesney’s Live at Sphere residency. Vibee packages are on sale now and come with premium tickets including Sandbar (general admission floor) or reserved seating, a collectable laminate and lanyard, and access to an immersive fan experience curated in partnership with Kenny Chesney himself.
