Chesney returns to stadiums in '11
The "Goin' Coastal Tour" will hit nine stadiums next year. The first show is in Tampa in March with dates sprinkled until late August.
Tickets for stadium dates will go on sale starting Nov. 20, with additional arena and amphitheatre dates to be announced later, with more dates than any Chesney tour since 2006.
Chesney will co-headline the stadium dates with Zac Brown Band. Uncle Kracker, who sang with Chesney on When The Sun Goes Down, will open all the stadium dates except Foxboro, Mass. Billy Currington will play on all dates.
"We're going to be playing new songs and lots of old favorites, and I can already tell it's going to be a lot of fun," says Chesney. "I can't wait to get back in front of my fans."
"With four acts on the bill, we've created these shows as all-day events and are working hard to make them affordable for our fans," says tour promoter Louis Messina. Chesney will make at least 7,000 tickets available at the majority of the stadium dates, with 13,922 for the March 19 Tampa show.
Chesney took a break from the road in 2010 to record his new album 'Hemingway's Whiskey' (BNA Records). The disc features The Boys of Fall, also the name of a documentary made by Chesney.
"I've always loved playing stadiums because I get to see so many of my fans at one time, but after everything I learned from the football heroes I met while making 'The Boys of Fall,' I'm seeing stadiums in a whole new way," Chesney said.

CD reviews for Kenny Chesney
After a storied run including eight Entertainer of the Year awards and two Greatest Hits albums (so far), Kenny Chesney was due for a setback. This one wasn't strictly personal, as the "Chillaxification" Tour got waylaid by a pandemic shutdown that scrapped most everything. The loss really belonged to the fans, as the original "Here and Now" record Chesney was supporting was a beauty – from the stirring "Knowing You" to the snarky "Wasted", ...
For many years now, Kenny Chesney has been the number one yacht country artist; one never spotted far from an ocean or without an adult beverage in his hand. However, this album's title track expresses a much deeper perspective on life. "I must've sat on a dozen islands/Watched the sun sink into the sea." Previously, island living was the reason for life. Now, life's purpose is described as much more internal than external. Call it trading that pirate flag for a little more mindfulness. ...
Kenny Chesney's "Song for the Saints" is a step in the right direction for the popular country star. Inspired by the Hurricane Irma disaster, which hit Chesney personally as it destroyed a house he owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands, these songs are more serious and heartfelt than typical Chesney music.
Best of all is "Love for Love City," a reggae duet with Ziggy Marley incorporating steel drums into an inviting island mix. It's followed by a cover of Lord ...
