Kenny Chesney Announces Here And Now 2022 Tour

Country superstar Kenny Chesney is kicking it into high gear in 2022 with the announcement of his Here And Now 2022 Stadium Tour. 

The eight-time Entertainer of the Year unveiled the news on Thursday (June 17) and revealed that the 19-date tour is set to kick off on April 23 in Tampa, Florida. 

“When we hit pause on our 2020 tour, I never thought we would go much past the fall, let alone into 2021,” he admits. “The idea that it would be three years before I would stand in the end zone of Gillette Stadium, where No Shoes Nation was born, wasn’t something any of us could conceive.

“I still can’t really believe it. But in the middle of all of this, I know it’s true… and I know how much I miss being out there, being in the thick of the most passionate place in the world: No Shoes Nation. Anywhere they plant their flags, bring their passion, their friends and their will to rock, it reminds me that to be in the moment is everything No Shoes Nation is about!

For Chesney, returning to the road safely was his highest priority. 

“With every city, county and state having their own protocols, with capacity numbers shifting every day, I didn’t want to announce until we knew we could come full on… strong… and without a care in the world,” he says. “I always want to be that place where you can let go, feel safe and have the time of the summer. After a lot of work on a lot of people’s parts, a lot of cooperation from the folks at the stadiums, the places we’re coming and the teams we share those venues with, we’re ready to announce the Here And Now 2022 Stadium Tour.”

The full tour lineup will be revealed in the coming months. Those who purchased tickets for Chesney’s previously announced tours can hold on to their tickets for the 2022 run. 

“Like it does for everyone, the idea of music, live music, fills me up,” Chesney explains. “Nothing is so in the moment, so completely alive. I want to start 2022 with the awesome rush that embodies everything playing for No Shoes Nation is. We’re calling the tour Here And Now 2022, because when we get together, there is only the present – and it’s so electric and good, I know I don’t want it to end. I just want to be 100% there with all of you.”

“I can’t wait,” he adds. “Literally, here and now. In the moment. All of us together, like we’ve been so many times, but fresh and alive and in the music. That’s why we’re calling it Here And Now 2022. It’s the perfect name for this tour.”
