Kenny Chesney Returns To Stadiums For ‘Original Vibe Room Tour 2027’ With Eric Church, Sheryl Crow

After two years and nearly 400,000 tickets sold at his ground-breaking Sphere residency in Las Vegas, Kenny Chesney is meeting No Shoes Nation in their home markets for the “Original Vibe Room 2027 Tour,” and bringing a friend along for the ride.

The tour kicks off April 24 for Chesney’s eighth appearance at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium, with the rest of the tour entailing similar-sized stadium plays, wrapping at Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium Aug, 28.

Eric Church, who has toured with Chesney on the massive 2013 “No Shoes Nation Tour,” joins for the full run, as does Rock & Roll of Fame inductee and nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow. Rounding out the bill is fellow East Tennessee songwriter and performing artist Greylan James as opening act.

“When we started to talk about touring next year, all I could think about was how good those stadiums feel… how loud, how fast, how much energy comes hurling at us,” Chesney says of the decision to do an all-stadium tour. “I don’t think I knew how much I missed it. And when it hit me, as well watching comments on Instagram and Facebook, I realized: we should make next year be all about the stadiums. So, we did.

“To make it really hit, I called Eric, who’d come out that first weekend in Vegas and sang a few with me, to see if he’d want to do this. He was in. Then to give fans a twist, something a little different, but someone who rocks and everyone in No Shoes Nation loves, I asked Sheryl Crow if she wanted to come play with us; and she said, ‘Yes.’ Suddenly, we’ve got all that high-powered energy, and it was starting to feel the same way we did way back in the day…”

With first-time plays in Greenville, N.C.’s home of the East Carolina University Pirates and Ames, Iowa’s home of the Iowa State Cyclones, the tour tour marks homecomings and continued venue milestones for Chesney, including 24 shows at New England’s Gillette Stadium, his 13th year Pittsburgh and Detroit, 12th stadium show in Philadelphia, ninth stop in New Jersey, Dallas-Fort Worth and Kansas City, with Tampa and Chicago logging their eighth stadium concerts each.

“It’s crazy to think these stadiums where I see football played every week are like coming home for the band and myself, but also really No Shoes Nation which rose out of these stadium parking lots. Stadiums are where we come most alive – and this tour’s taking it to a whole other level,” Chesney says in the announcement. “We’ve got this new album that’s already done insane things, starting with ‘Carry On,’ the very first single,” Chesney offers. “You can feel the energy around this music, Silver Sands Marina and the tracks that are already out there. We’ve got great new music to add in, plus so many songs that bring the summer to life. This is everything the band and I live for.”
