It's been a truly fantastic year for Kenny Chesney. The eight-time Entertainer of the Year's "The Big Revival" was his 13th album to debut at No. 1 on the Country Album chart. The album has already delivered a multi-week No. 1 single with "American Kids" and now "Til It's Gone" is shooting up Billboard's Country Singles chart. Now the superstar reveals that the fun he's having with his new music has made him ready to bring it live to his fans across America, according to EB Media.
With his 2015 tour, Chesney - the man The Wall Street Journal deemed "The King of the Road" - will mix up his musical venues by playing arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums. He kicks off the tour, sponsored by Corona Light, in Nashville on March 26, his birthday. He confesses he's primed to get out among his fans.
"I've missed that sense of community and that passion for the music," declares Chesney. There's gonna be some stuff from the new record and songs people haven't heard in a while. There's gonna be a whole lot of music and some surprises.
"I've seen the stage and the lights. As the set list comes together, and we start locking down rehearsals, this is gonna be a wild night. I hope the fans are ready," he added, as quoted by EB Media.
"We're going to be mixing up the line-up, too: different markets will have different acts playing with us," he adds. "A few will be on all the stadium shows, some doing pieces-but I promise everybody who's coming out rocks hard, and understands turning a crowd on."
Chesney has a track record of having the hottest artists join him on the road. Over the years, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Miranda Lambert have joined his tours, as well as artists from other genres, such as Grace Potter and Uncle Kracker.
"I can't think of a better way to celebrate," declared Chesney on ABC's Good Morning America. "I've been ready to get out there for a long time. Now that we're announced I'm fired up! This new music brings a new energy to the show, and it's gonna take what we do to a whole other level."
That's saying a lot, considering that each of Chesney's headlining tours since 2002 has sold over a million tickets - making him the only country act in Billboard's Top 10 Touring Acts of the Past 25 Years.
"Because of the number of artists we're pulling into this tour, the roll out is a little trickier, but I think it's going to be worth the wait and the finding out," explains Chesney. People will be fired up when they see who's playing where. That means, there's more news to come. A lot of our favorite cities are on the list, so are some places we've never been. Get ready!"
