Kenny Chesney announces concert stay at The Sphere in Las Vegas

Kenny Chesney is the latest megawatt music star to sign with Sphere in Las Vegas.

The multi-platinum-selling artist will perform a 12-date residency at the much-hyped Sphere venue starting in May.

Chesney will be the first country artist to perform concerts in the high-tech Sphere space.

The other Sphere bookings have been classic rock bands – U2, Dead & Company and the Eagles – as well as Phish, the wildly eclectic (and awesome) group that really belong in a category all their own.

“When we started talking about all the possibilities of playing Sphere, I was all in,” Chesney said in a press release. “Just the idea of ​​4D technology and the impossibly connected sound elevates the experience for No Shoes Nation, literally immersing them in music, visuals, sound and togetherness. For me, this will be a whole new way to rock the fans and I can don’t wait.”

Kenny Chesney Sphere tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. (PT) Jan. 31, thesphere.com. There’s also a Sphere presale starting at 14.00 21 January (code: SPHERE).
