After spending two years leading his Las Vegas residency at Sphere, Kenny Chesney is returning to stadiums in 2027.
The Country Music Hall of Famer will launch his Original Vibe Room Tour 2027 on April 24 in Tampa, Florida (marking his eighth appearance at Raymond James Stadium), with the tour also making stops in Chicago, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Nashville before concluding at Foxborough, Massachusetts’ Gillette Stadium on Aug. 28.
Joining Chesney are CMA entertainer of the year winner Eric Church, nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow and newcomer Greylan James, known as a writer on songs by Jordan Davis, Morgan Wallen and more, as well as his own “Water at a Wedding.”
“When we started to talk about touring next year, all I could think about was how good those stadiums feel… how loud, how fast, how much energy comes hurling at us,” Chesney said in a statement. “I don’t think I knew how much I missed it. And when it hit me, as well as watching comments on Instagram and Facebook, I realized: we should make next year be all about the stadiums. So, we did.”
Chesney continued, “To make it really hit, I called Eric, who’d come out that first weekend in Vegas and sang a few with me, to see if he’d want to do this. He was in. Then to give fans a twist, something a little different, but someone who rocks and everyone in No Shoes Nation loves, I asked Sheryl Crow if she wanted to come play with us; and she said, ‘Yes.’ Suddenly, we’ve got all that high-powered energy, and it was starting to feel the same way we did way back in the day…”
The tour will mark Chesney’s 25th show at Gillette Stadium and his 13th year in Pittsburgh and Detroit, as well as his 12th stadium show in Philadelphia and ninth stop in New Jersey, Dallas-Fort Worth and Kansas City.
“It’s crazy to think these stadiums where I see football played every week are like coming home for the band and myself, but also really No Shoes Nation which rose out of these stadium parking lots. Stadiums are where we come most alive – and this tour’s taking it to a whole other level,” Chesney said.
Before the tour launches next year, Chesney will release his 21st album, Silver Sands Marina, on Sept. 25. The 11-song project will mark his first on his new independent label Hey Now Records, which launched earlier this year.
