Country superstar will perform live in the Arena on April 8th & 9th with special guests Billy
Currington and Uncle Kracker
Kenny Chesney’s “fans can count on his shows to be fun, fun, fun” (LA Times), and they can prepare to see “how deep this Country megastar’s talent really runs” (Chicago Tribune) as Chesney announces the first leg of what will be his biggest tour in five years. Country’s top-drawing act and the only artist in any genre to sell over a million tickets for eight consecutive summers will perform live at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, April 8th and Saturday, April 9th with special guests Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker. Both shows will begin at 8:00pm
Tickets are $125.00 and $95.00 and go on sale Friday, November 19th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge by Phone number 1.800.745.3000. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning on Saturday, November 20th, subject to availability.
The man the Associated Press calls “among the hardest charging acts on the road” is already excited about returning to the stage. “We’re going to be playing new songs and lots of old favorites, and I can already tell it’s going to be a lot of fun,” says Chesney. “I can’t wait to get back in front of my fans.”
Chesney took a break from the road in 2010 to record his new album Hemingway’s Whiskey (BNA Records), which entered the Billboard 200 at #1 (his sixth album to achieve that feat) and to produce The Boys of Fall, the documentary about high school football now available for pre-order at walmart.com and in Walmart beginning November 9th.
