Kenny Chesney Adds Three Soccer Stadium Dates To Tour

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Kenny Chesney has already expanded his 2024 ‘When The Sun Goes Down” stadium tour by adding three soccer stadium dates to his tour, now making 20 stops at stadiums nationwide.

Kenny said in a statement about the new shows, “In a lot of ways, soccer stadiums are the best of both worlds. You have the same kind of intimacy that you get in an amphitheater, but it’s big enough you have the ability to really hit the accelerator in terms of energy, music, connecting. It’s a relatively new thing for us to have soccer stadiums, but these are markets where I know there are people who aren’t getting tickets – and everyone in No Shoes Nation knows how I feel about no citizen of our crew left behind.”

Adding three MLS soccer venues isn’t the first “Sun Goes Down 2024” changeup. Initially only planning for one Foxborough, Mass. show, Chesney added a second, selling both out. That response was so intense that he added an unprecedented third New England show on Sunday night, which is well over two-thirds sold.

Chesney said, “People have choices. You never want to take fans or the marketplace as a given, and you always want to remember who you do this for the people who love the music. I want to give people the best night of their summer because they’re giving me some of the greatest nights of my life!”

He added, “And the response to ‘Sun Goes Down’ made me decide to try some things.”

Kenny Chesney’s new soccer stadium shows are:

Saturday, June 29, at Cincinnati’s TQL Stadium
Tuesday, July 16, at Salt Lake City’s America First Field
Thursday, August 8, at Columbus, Ohio’s Historic Crew Stadium

All three shows on this configuration of “Sun Goes Down 2024” will feature Megan Moroney and old friend and multiple week No. 1 “When The Sun Goes Down” partner Uncle Kracker.

7 Moments Country Stars Proved They Are Just Like Us

  • Luke Combs

    Luke Combs – While in Australia playing a sold-out tour for fans down under, Luke Combs’ wife Nicole posted something we have all posted a time to two, family photos from a recent photo shoot. The photos are of Nicole, Luke, and their son Tex as the couple await the birth of their second child. The only thing that sets the photos apart from all of us is that Tex is shown from the back. The couple have been careful not to reveal their one-year-old’s face to the public.

  • Miranda Lambert

    Miranda often shares social media posts that prove she is just like us, sharing moments from trips with her husband to the occasional trip to the Nashville Metro Animal Control to adopt a cat or dog. In a recent post on Instagram, Miranda posted photos of herself and a friend who stopped by to adopt not one but two kittens.

  • Carrie Underwood

    Carrie posted to Instagram right after she wrapped shows on her recent Las Vegas residency. She shared images of herself, two sisters, and even her mom getting matching heart tattoos. It’s not Underwood’s first tattoo; she shared before in another post she and some friends getting tats of a small flower.

  • Blake Shelton

    Blake often posts on his social media himself on his tractor working the fields on his Oklahoma farm. Shelton also shares a love of planting flowers with his wife, Gwen Stefani, on the same property.

  • Luke Bryan

    Luke may be a superstar in music and on TV’s American Idol, making millions of dollars a year, but that never takes away his fishing time with his sons, Bo and Tate, and his wife, Caroline. Luke constantly posts family stuff, “huntin’, fishing, and loving every day.”

  • Keith Urban

    Keith and his Oscar-winning movie star wife, Nicole Kidman, seem to live country music’s most glamorous life of all, but that doesn’t stop the famous couple from doing everyday things like camping. Urban posted he and his wife were camping in their native Australia earlier this year and encountered a wild animal.

  • Tim McGraw

    Tim has done fantastic work in the last several years to be in the best physical shape of his life. Not long ago, he shared a video clip on Instagram about one of the ways he stays in top condition, taking a simple walk every day with one of his family dogs.
