Kenny Chesney to Shake Things Up for Fans During Second Residency at Vegas Sphere

Kenny Chesney is heading back to Las Vegas for another summer at the state of the art Sphere, and fans can expect a brand-new experience when he takes the stage.

The country superstar, who made history as the first-ever country artist to headline the cutting-edge venue, revealed that he’s planning to shake things up for his second run in Sin City.

“We have to change it some. Half the show’s probably gonna be completely different and we’re gonna change some of it that was not, you know, there’s some songs that we haven’t done in a while that we’re gonna do,” Chesney recently shared on SiriusXM’s No Shoes Radio. “That’s the beauty of it, because in that environment you get to do songs that you don’t get to do at stadium shows, and so we did a lot of that this year and we’re gonna do some more of that next summer, but I would say probably at least half the show is gonna be completely different. 

The Country Music Hall of Famer wants to mix things up to give fans a fresh experience.

“I wouldn’t want to go to the Sphere one year and then come back the next year and see the exact same thing,” he admitted. “It’s like, ‘Oh, well, I went to the circus last year and they did the same thing this year.’”

Chesney laughed as he added, “I’m just saying. Whatever it is, it is a circus. I mean, we’re a circus act.”

Chesney’s return to the Sphere will give fans another chance to see his one-of-a-kind production, this time with an updated setlist and surprises only the “Get Along” singer can deliver.

The eight-time Entertainer of the Year will perform at the state-of-the-art venue on the following dates in 2026:

Friday, June 19
Saturday, June 20
Wednesday, June 24
Friday, June 26
Saturday, June 27

He says he 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!”

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.
