First 20 major stadiums unveiled

Kenny Chesney has unveiled the Chillaxification 2020 tour that will take the eight-time Entertainer of the Year back to stadiums across the country. The trek is designed to bring great music, good vibes and one of his most diverse lineups to some of his favorite cities and a few new places. Joining him for this summer’s adventure are Florida Georgia Line, Old Dominio, and summer touring sensation Michael Franti & Spearhead.

Chillaxification 2020 kicks off Saturday, April 18th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and culminates Friday, August 28th with his 20th show at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA. Tickets for all dates will go on sale next Friday, October 4th at 10 am local time.

“These stadium shows are the most fun thing I do,” says the high-energy singer/songwriter from East Tennessee. “It’s been a year, so when I get out there, I wanna make sure that No Shoes Nation is being rocked, having fun and getting all the music they can out of the day. We always try to do something different, bring someone new – and for anyone who’s never seen Michael Franti and Spearhead, just wait!”

The only country artist on Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years, Chesney’s summer stadium treks have become legend – and gave rise to the iconic No Shoes Nation. Built on a strong commitment to the fans, Chesney’s No Shoes Radio serves as a connector for the man The Los Angeles Times deemed “The People’s Superstar” and The Wall Street Journal hailed “The King of the Road.”

“I love playing for No Shoes Nation any time, anywhere,” says the soft-spoken superstar, “but these stadium shows are always something so powerful, I can’t tell you how much anticipation goes into each one. Not to mention, we’re always wanting to top what’s come before – and I think this lineup might just pack the most fun of them all.”

Recently singled out by Variety as “country’s only long-term stadium act,” Chillaxification 2020 builds on the enduring rite of summer that Chesney’s stadium shows have become. With the multiple week No. 1 “Get Along” from his deeply personal Songs for the Saints, benefiting the Love for Love City Fund, and the steamy “Tip of My Tongue” hovering just outside the Top 10 at country radio, there’s a lot of new music, old favorites and surprises on tap for what will be the summer’s biggest tour.

American Express Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Thursday, September 26th at 10 am local time through Thursday, October 3rd at 10 pm local time. General ticket sales begin at 10 am local time on Friday, October 4th.

Blue Chair Bay Rum returns as tour sponsor. Chesney’s award-winning line of rum will again be the presenting sponsor, with activations throughout the summer.
