Kenny Chesney is expanding his 2026 Sphere Las Vegas residency, with the ‘No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems’ hitmaker announcing six additional dates at the immersive venue.
Via socials, Chesney explains why he was keen to extend this run, “No Shoes Nation. 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”.
In addition to his already-announced five-show run in June, Chesney will return to the hallowed Sphere Las Vegas stage in July for six dates on July 1st, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 10th and 11th.
The KC Pre-Sale for these eagerly anticipated shows opens at 10am PT on Friday, January 23rd 2026, with fans able to sign up to this Pre-Sale via Chesney's official website. The General On-Sale begins next Friday, January 30th at 10am PT.
Speaking ahead of the unveiling, the Knoxville native sheds light on why he felt compelled to add more dates at Sphere this summer, “Beyond how different it was, there was all the fun. Seeing all the faces, plus all the crazy things we could do with the sound and visuals, I knew well before we finished, we were coming back and taking all of it even further. With all the work that’s going into changing up over half the show, adding more songs we might not be able to play in stadiums, pulling some surprises, five shows weren’t going to be enough…”
The five-time CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year muses, “When we were able to make the 4th of July weekend a flyaway, come stay, see Guitars, Tiki Bars and let’s share a whole lotta love, I was very much, ‘Let’s do it.’ So, we did”, with Chesney playfully adding a hint of the joyful, sun-soaked and island-inspired vibes attendees can look forward to experiencing, “Like we flashed on the screen at our final show when it said, ‘See you next summer’ – we’re setting up for summer vacation, only the sand isn’t a beach, and you don’t have to drive anywhere!”
The Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love fan experience - named after Chesney's much-loved 2005 song of the same name - will once again be installed for his 2026 shows at a brand new location. It will serve as a hub for No Shoes Nation, featuring Blue Chair Bay rum cocktails, exclusive merchandise and more.
The ‘Here and Now’ crooner concludes, “This isn’t something you can do every year. But to be able to put two years together, to take what you know and double down on something so unique? It’s an opportunity for us, No Shoes Nation and even people who just love Sphere shows to experience the joy in a completely different way”.
The blockbuster revelation arrives as the momentum remains high behind Chesney, following the release of his critically acclaimed debut book, HEART*LIFE*MUSIC, with Holly Gleason. Shortly after being made available, the insightful body of work surged straight to the pinnacle of The New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction and Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction Best Seller rankings.
With a host of new shows on the horizon, we'll be keeping our fingers crossed there may be more music on the way soon, too, from the Tropical Country trailblazer...
