Chesney, who made history as the first country artist to headline the groundbreaking venue, was inspired to return after witnessing the fan reaction during his first run of shows in 2025.

“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 said 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.”

He continued, “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!”

The 17,600-seat venue features Sphere Immersive Sound, powered by 167,000 individual speakers that can be precisely tuned to each section, along with cutting-edge visuals that project over 264 billion pixels across a massive 160,000-square-foot screen.

This year, fans can also look forward to an all-new Guitars, Tiki Bars experience. Plus, VIP package holders will enjoy exclusive access to a private Vibe Room complete with its own surf shop, bar, and dedicated space.

Vibee, the music-led destination experience company, is teaming up with Kenny Chesney as the official VIP Concert & Hotel Experience partner for his just-announced shows at Sphere. Fans can get early access through Vibee’s exclusive three-day presale, happening now.
