Kenny Chesney Announces 2026 Return to Las Vegas Sphere — “Come Live Those Songs Again”
Newly inducted Country Music Hall of Famer Kenny Chesney just gave No Shoes Nation the news they’ve been waiting for: he’s headed back to the Sphere in Las Vegas next summer for another round of electrifying, immersive shows.
The eight-time Entertainer of the Year will perform five dates at the groundbreaking venue in June 2026:
Friday, June 19
Saturday, June 20
Wednesday, June 24
Friday, June 26
Saturday, June 27
“The More I Watched the Fans, the More Ideas I Had”
Chesney made history as the first country artist to ever headline the high-tech Sphere during his 2025 residency, and the fan response was so overwhelming that he knew he had to come back.
“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. “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 to add a few new ones that deserve this immersive treatment.”
He added:
“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. If you didn’t get to see it, c’mon! And if you did, come live those songs again — because this isn’t something you get to do every single year!”
Inside the One-of-a-Kind Venue
The 17,600-seat Sphere is unlike any other concert space on earth. It features Sphere Immersive Sound, powered by 167,000 individually tuned speakers, and a 160,000-square-foot LED screen displaying more than 264 billion pixels — wrapping the audience in panoramic, floor-to-ceiling visuals that make every performance unforgettable.
This time around, Chesney’s team is also introducing an all-new Guitars, Tiki Bars experience and expanded VIP options for fans who want to get even closer to the No Shoes Nation vibe.
