When Kenny Chesney Concert Tour?
Kenny Chesney Reveal Concert Tour This Year 2023
Just last week, award-winning country music singer and songwriter Kenny Chesney released his concert tour schedule for 2023. The singer will be touring next year as part of the “I Go Back” tour, which is also the title of his latest song. Kenny would love to get back out on the road after the COVID-19 pandemic put his tours on hold for the past two years, but he is aware of the importance of safety and wants to make sure that he is doing everything right to protect his fans.
The I Go Back Tour is scheduled to begin on the 25th of March in State College, Pennsylvania. He will next tour across the nation, performing in more than thirty different cities. He will perform at large stadiums such as MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey, Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and SoFi Stadium in California. Kenny will likely increase the number of tour stops even further, given that he has a history of doing so when tickets are sold out.
Kenny Chesney concerts are well known to be big celebrations. For the performance, the singer makes country music come to life on stage, and all the audience gets is a rocking good time. People even spend time sampling foods and beverages in the parking lots before the actual start of the games. Kenny even has a song called ‘Beer in Mexico’ which is reportedly one of his most popular. These are not mere sit-down dinners! The audience is also massive, with roughly more than one million people attending his shows on average per tour.
Large stadium concerts need a huge stage and equipment to be installed to accommodate the crowd and the band. In total, 16 tractor-trailers are required to move it all. This is a production of Kenny that comprises features such as giant video walls and pyrotechniques. Nothing is left to chance to make these concerts grand and out of this world. Of course, fans can expect to hear many of his hits such as ‘No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem’ and ‘There Goes My Life,’ but he likes to switch up the set list night by night.
Tour Opening Acts Kenny noted that he likes to bring out new artists and feature them. His 2023 tour comprises three wonderful supporting acts. Carly Pearce, a country singer will be performing during the first six shows. Then singer-songwriter Chris Lane steps up as the show’s opener for seven performances. Lastly, the up-and-coming talent Ashley McBryde will support the rest of the tour. These are all artists people will be happy to watch since they are a favorite of the fans. It results in an amazing lineup from the start until the end every night.
How to Get Tickets Because of great demand, a majority of Kenny’s performances are sold out within a short time. Tickets will be available starting December 9, 2022, at 10 AM local time. The prices will be different depending on the city, but this product is sure to be in great demand. Kenny Chesney concert tickets cost approximately $150 for a single ticket. Floor seats and field access passes will be on the higher side. This is due to the high turnover that is likely to be created by fans who are advised to buy early to get the best seats at a normal price. Sometimes resale tickets are very costly, especially for a sold-out show.
There aren’t many VIP packages left and this is also a good time to buy one as well. VIP tickets will allow the holder to meet the performers before the show and will also entitle them to purchase merchandise with the performer’s logos on them. They are more costly but provide an opportunity to the fans to interact with Kenny in a person. In addition to this, the holders of VIP tickets also enjoy the privilege of entering the venues without delays. This helps to reduce long queues when waiting to get into the building or house.
Attending the Show Concerts featuring Kenny Chesney are indeed events not for the faint-hearted. As many as one hundred and twenty thousand spectators have been reported to gather at a single event. Come early – the gates open at 5 pm local time for a 7 pm start. There are long queues at security lines when so many people are getting in. Parking too is scarce, so sharing vehicles is advisable.
Stadium ticket holders who get general admission sit on the field area near the stage. Rear stadium stands are available for limited seating. For many fans, it is necessary to bring additional items to sit on, such as blankets and towels. Anyway, almost everyone will be standing once Kenny takes the stage. Because you will be outside for 6+ hours, preparations are vital:
- Comfortable shoes and light clothing should be worn
- Take along sunscreen & rain ponchos
- Take along foodstuffs, drinking water in a bottle, and a small cooler
- Small purses & bags only
Kenny’s shows are summer performances that are usually held outdoors so the weather differs. Facilities will not permit an umbrella or a large bag. Both, drinking water and protecting skin from the sun are necessary in hot conditions. Carry items to last the long tailgating and concert day to avoid such incidences.
Setlist Variety The setlists vary from night to night, which means that the show never gets old. However, Kenny does have certain hit songs he plays regularly:
- How Forever Feels
- Summertime
- Beer in Mexico
- Carry It To The Bank
- I Go Back
- There Goes My Life
Some of the most popular songs such as “Keg in the Closet,” “Out Last Night,” and “No Shoe Nation” are performed as well. When Kenny was asked whether he was going to play such songs on this tour as well he confirmed that he was. That way the diehard fans may get to listen to some songs they have not heard for a long time and which the band may have not played live in a long while. Now that we have established that Kenny has more than twenty albums in his discography, he needs to choose only the best songs for the performance.
Remixes of other songs are also incorporated in his collection. Some of the bands and artists Kenny has filmed include Dave Matthews Band, Van Morrison, Steve Miller Band, Bob Marley, and others. His cover songs range from rock giants to reggae icons. No one can ever assume the things that could come out of Kenny Chesney’s mouth during a live performance.
High Energy Shows Regardless of song selection, Kenny Chesney's concerts share one common trait: high energy. There are not many other performers who would be able to inspire more than 50 thousand people like that. Kenny dedicates himself fully to the show. He would run around the enormous stage go off to the crowd and give fans a high five. The smiles on the faces of the audience and especially the men and women singing along make Kenny happy. It is this genuine excitement that gets passed back to the audience.
People use many words to refer to concerts, but one of the most commonly used is ‘getting away’. For a few hours, the problems of the outside world are set aside. This is why, apart from making his listeners dance away, Kenny Chesney has this unique way of hypnotizing them. Thus, his music puts the audience in a state of mind that is happy. If that feels like a tropical island or Mexico beach then all the better. Kenny promises good times and indeed he does when attending his concerts time after another.
This upcoming 2023 tour will indeed be the one to remember. If you want to catch Kenny live next year, then you should purchase the tickets as soon as possible. These shows also are great with incredible opening acts too, they are not to miss for any country fans. ‘No Shoe Nation’ will be on hand in full force to support their brave leader one more time!
