It’s a big day for Kenny Chesney fans.
After keeping it a secret almost a year, the “Living in Fast Forward” singer announced Thursday that he’ll be the first country act to headline Las Vegas’ Sphere.
Kenny’s 12-date Live at Sphere residency kicks off May 22 and will run until June 14.
“I’m always looking for ways to deepen the way No Shoes Nation experiences this music. 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,” Kenny shares in a statement. “When people give you that much heart, I want to give them even more.”
The 17,600-seat spherical venue uses 4D technologies, 167,000 individual speakers, fully immersive visual capabilities and more, bringing the concert experience to a whole new level.
“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,” says Kenny. “To me, this is going to be a whole new way of rocking the fans, and I can’t wait.”
“Knowing how much intensity our shows generate, my mind started thinking about all the things we could do,” he adds. “Once you see how the show wraps all the way around you, the dreaming begins.”
Other superstars who’ve headlined Sphere include U2, Eagles, Dead & Company, Phish and Afterlife Presents Anyma.
