Some Tuesdays are just Tuesdays. But for No Shoes Nation, today is a pretty big deal. Kenny Chesney, Country’s King of Summer, is back!
After two years and nearly 400,000 tickets at Sphere Las Vegas, Chesney is returning to his “stadium era” in 2027 with his Original Vibe Room Tour.
The 19 date stadium tour will kick off April 24 in Tampa at Raymond James Stadium and take Chesney across the country before wrapping up August 28 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
And honestly, with Kenny hitting the road next summer, it already feels like summer is going to be complete again. The country superstar has become such a staple of the summer concert season that it’s hard to imagine those warm months without a Kenny Chesney concert somewhere in the mix.
“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 says of the decision to do an all-stadium tour. “I don’t think I knew how much I missed it. And when it hit me, as well watching comments on Instagram and Facebook, I realized: we should make next year be all about the stadiums. So, we did.”
The Original Vibe Room Tour is bringing together a pretty incredible lineup because, let’s face it, when it comes to putting an epic tour together, Kenny Chesney knows how to put the right pieces, or in this case artists, together.
Joining Chesney for the is longtime friend Eric Church, who previously toured with Chesney on the massive 2013 No Shoes Nation Tour. Add in singer, songwriter, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and nine-time GRAMMY winner Sheryl Crow and you’ve got yourself one heck of vibe!
“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 lineup doesn’t stop there. Fellow East Tennessee artist and songwriter Greylan James will join the tour as the opener.
While the past two years have found Chesney at Sphere Las Vegas, he’s ready to get back on the road, traveling the miles between states much like he did when he hit the road for his No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems Tour in 2002. That reflection eventually gave way to the name of the 2027 tour.
“It was such a rush,” Chesney recalls. “And this feels just like that. Three people who know each other, are friends and love to play taking it out on the road for the summer. That kind of camaraderie matches everything about what made me want to chase this dream in the first place, that adventure and fun defined us. For me, there was only one name: the Original Vibe Room Tour, because this time, with these people, I want everyone in the Vibe.”
“We started the Vibe Room in 2002 as a place for our people – the adults, guests, musicians – to come together, get a drink, hang out, meet up, maybe make some new friends. It was a fun place, and I feel like that’s what 2027’s gonna be all about. So what else would we call it?”
There’s a lot of exciting things going on for Chesney fans right now, especially as he’s gearing up for the release of his 21st studio album, Silver Sands Marina, on September 25. With new music just around the corner and a stadium tour to look forward to, No Shoes Nation has a lot to look forward to.
“It’s gonna be an amazing summer. I can’t believe we’re here again, and I can’t wait to get out there and start doing it” says Chesney. “The Original Vibe Room Tour 2027 is gonna be all the things, but especially a lot of fun, a lot of music and a lot of songs people have lived their lives to.”
“Get ready. We’re coming.” That’s all we need to hear from the man himself!
