Kenny Chesney extended his 2026 run of shows at Sphere Las Vegas “due to overwhelming demand.”
The Country Music Hall of Fame member announced six new residency dates at the immersive Vegas venue on Tuesday (January 20). Chesney said “this show has kept us inspired. Five nights turned into something bigger, and it only felt right to keep going. If we’re going to do it, let’s make it count, so we’re adding SIX additional dates. Sphere will be my only headline concerts this summer.” Tickets to the new performance dates will be available to the general public beginning at 10 a.m. PT on Friday, January 30.
- Wednesday, July 1
- Friday, July 3
- Saturday, July 4
- Wednesday, July 8
- Friday, July 10
- Saturday, July 11
Chesney, 57, became the first country artist to headline the unique venue when he took the stage for the first run of Kenny Chesney LIVE at Sphere Las Vegas shows in 2025. He announced during his final 2025 performance that he would return again in 2026. Previously-announced 2026 dates include:
- Friday, June 19
- Saturday, June 20
- Wednesday, June 24
- Friday, June 26
- Saturday, June 27
“You can’t truly understand until you start playing music with all the people there, feeling that energy and the way the visuals and the songs just consume people,” Chesney said in a previous statement of his decision to return to Sphere Las Vegas. “The more I watched the fans having this experience I’m sure they couldn’t imagine, the more ideas I had – both to reconfigure some of last year’s songs, and a few songs that seemed like they should get this immersive treatment – and wanted to do.
“I think there are so many ways for people to play this venue, but I feel pretty sure nobody has had more fun there, brought more joy – or that freewheeling Sandbar experience – than No Shoes Nation,” he continued. “And wherever they sat, we could hear ‘em, too. So, if you didn’t get to see it, c’mon! And if you did, well, come live those songs again – because this isn’t something you get to do every single year!”
