Chesney announces '13 tour
"By the end of this tour, we'll have done a 100 stadiums," he said.
The tour starts March 16 in Tampa. He also will play Miller Park in Milwaukee, his first headlining gig there, on May 18. He played Willie Nelson's FarmAid there about four years ago. Chesney then will play Washington, DC. (FedEx Field) on May 25 and Seattle (Century Link Field) on June 1. "We haven't played there in three or four years," said Chesney.
Chesney made the announcement during an appearance on his No Shoes Radio station.
Eric Church and Eli Young Band will be opening acts. "I think he's a real artist," said Chesney. "To see his progression and how successful an artist he is, he deserves (this slot). He's gong to be a great fit for what we do out there. He's got a lot of rocking songs."
"Those guys are making really great music," said Chesney of EYB. "It's one thing for people to come out on the road with you...I've really invested in their music."

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. ...
