Chesney, McGraw reunite for summer tour
"Tim and I have been great friends since we first toured together, and I can't wait to get back on the road with him," Chesney said. "He's one of my closest friends in music and in life, and I know this tour is going to be something special."
"Our friendship was forged on the road, so it's going to be a blast heading out with Kenny again," said McGraw. "We'll be having as much fun on stage as the fans will be having in the audience."
The tour will be the first time in 10 years that Chesney and McGraw have hit the road together. The reunion will kick off June 2 in Tampa and will feature stadium shows on weekend dates at venues across the country, including Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, Dallas' Cowboys Stadium, Detroit's Ford Field, and New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. Brothers of the Sun will also feature special guests Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and Jake Owen. Chesney and Potter enjoyed a hit with Me And Tequila.
The announcement comes on the heels of Chesney's successful 'Goin' Coastal' Tour, which attracted more than 1.3 million fans, making it the year's biggest country tour. Reality, Chesney's fifth single from 2010's 'Hemingway's Whiskey,' shipped to radio in October.
McGraw hit the road this past summer and enjoyed a number one with Felt Good on My Lips.

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 ...
