New content, more ideas and a whole lotta love hits the desert in the summer
When too much fun isn’t enough, remix, re-set, maybe even add a few songs and head back to Sphere in Las Vegas in June 2026! Having taken No Shoes Nation into a whole new dimension at Sphere this spring, Kenny Chesney made the decision there was more he wanted to do, songs to explore in this new realm and great times to be had with No Shoes Nation under giant technicolor displays – so much so, he soft announced it from the stage his final weekend.
“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 says of the decision to come back. “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 a few songs that seemed like they should get this immersive treatment – and wanted to do.
“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. And wherever they sat, we could hear ‘em, too. So, if you didn’t get to see it, c’mon! And if you did, well, come live those songs again – because this isn’t something you get to do every single year!”
Chesney impressed the audience with the way Sphere’s technology was used to maximize both the clarity of sound and the immersive video components. Given the chance to share this experience with anyone who might’ve missed it, or share with those who want one more ride, the 2025 Country Music Hall of Fame electee decided to do one more string of shows at the Sphere.
The only country artist to be in Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years for the last 15, Chesney was also the first country artist to headline the 17,600-seat venue known for Sphere Immersive Sound, which includes 167,000 individual speakers that can be dialed in to each section with dazzling specificity, and immersive visual capabilities that deliver over 264 billion pixels across a screen that’s 160,000 square feet.
And this year, there will also be a refreshed Guitars, Tiki Bars experience open to the fans. Even more exciting for the VIP package holders, there will be a separate, designated Vibe Room with its own surf shop, bar and location.
With Heart Life Music, the book chronicling his journey through music, about to unpack everything that led to Sphere, he marvels, “I’m not the kind of person who loves to be in one place for very long if there’s not an ocean. But it was so cool having this experience with all the fans, seeing their faces and watching that party in the second and third levels – because it’s finally close enough to see – that I had to do it again.”
