Kenny Chesney may be taking 2017 off from touring, but he already has quite a few gigs lined up and heâs adding more.
According to al.com, Kenny has put two Alabama shows on the books. The âSetting The World On Fireâ singer will be performing in Tuscaloosa, Ala. at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater on Aug. 4 and at The Wharf on Aug. 5. Countryâs new trio, Midland, will open the show for both dates.
When Kenny Chesney said last year that he would only be playing ONE stadium show in 2017, he didnât mean he wouldnât be performing in other locations.
âHey New England, itâs Kenny Chesney, and I just want to say how excited I am to say that we are coming back to Foxborough, MassachusettsâGillette Stadiumânext summer, August 25 (he has since added a second show on Aug. 26) for my only stadium show in America,â Kenny said in a video message. âNo other stadium shows except in Foxborough.â
While Gillette stadium will be Kennyâs only stadium show, there will be other opportunities to catch him out and about. The Tennessee native will headline the 2017 Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on April 7-9, Coloradoâs Country Jam on June 15-18, the House of Blues in New Orleans on April 8 and heâs part of the Merle Haggard tribute concert in Nashville on April 6.
Tickets for the Alabama shows go on sale Friday April 14 through Ticketmaster.
