“The last night is always so hard,” Chesney admitted, “because you’ve shared so many things over a few months… You get close, you have fun, and you live. But this year, this tour has been even more so because every single person who came to see us brought just as much heart to the shows as my road family and I brought. It was something you could feel everywhere we went.”

Friday Night

The weekend began on Friday with an epic prank from Chesney’s tourmate, Megan Moroney, who surprised Chesney on stage by dressing up as him and riding a tiny John Deere tractor for their duet performance of “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.” 

“Normally people wait ‘til the last night,” Chesney pointed out. “But Megan just couldn’t wait. When I find out who let her on the bus, well… But I have to admit: she looked good in my stuff. If there’s one thing I can give her: this girl is going big places, and it’s happening fast.”

Chesney then allowed Moroney the opportunity to perform her new single, “Am I Okay?” in front fo the packed-out stadium. 

He also shared the stage with Uncle Kracker to perform “Drift Away,” and of course, delivered a performance of “Boston” for the Red Sox-loving crowd. 

Saturday Night

Saturday’s show featured a surprise appearance from Old Dominion’s Matthew Ramsey, who joined Chesney for “Save It For A Rainy Day,” plus, performances of “When The Sun Goes Down.” “Drift Away,” “Follow Me,” “Midnight Rider,” and “Cowboy” with Uncle Kracker. 

For the first time all tour, Zac Brown joined Chesney on stage, delivering a performance of “Dixieland Delight” as well as a mashup of Steve Miller’s “The Joker” and Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds.”

Another highlight came when Moroney and her crew rushed the stage in Blue Chair Bay t-shirts during their performance of “All The Pretty Girls” and “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.” 

“I told Tom, my stage manager, this is the best Gillette crowd we’ve ever had,” the eight-time Entertainer of the Year said after Saturday’s show. “They were so there, so on fire. We could feel it before we hit the stage. Once we were out there, it was insane. I always say ‘Sports, family, friends, music;’ tonight with Zac and Megan, it was so strong, I had to bring my mom and her twin sister out to feel the crowd, too.”

Sunday Night

For Sunday’s finale, No Shoes Nation enjoyed a massive sing-along of “Boston” and “Boys of Fall,” plus Chesney’s duets with Kracker and Moroney. 

“It really felt like No Shoes Nation came to sing,” Chesney shared. “These songs were their life, too, and they were going to sing them back to us. I felt like I was seeing – and hearing – everything we played in another dimension because I could hear all those lives in their voices.”

With each night’s set list differing a bit from the last, it’s safe to say the Sun Goes Down Tour went out with a bang. 

“The thing about these summers together,” Chesney said after the show, “is it really is all about friendship. It’s about the people out here, our road family and everyone else’s road family, and how those connections grow. It’s a lot, and it’s precious.” 

With the Sun Goes Down Tour behind him, the East Tennessee native will enjoy some well-deserved downtime and currently has no tour dates on the books. 

Meanwhile, his new single, “Just To Say We Did,” continues to climb the charts at country radio.
