Kenny Chesney is doing something he has never, ever done before. The country music superstar, who typically ends his tours at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts has, for the first time ever, added an unprecedented third show to his 2024 Sun Goes Down Tour.
Chesney will now play August 23, 24 and 25 at the stadium, the final three dates on his tour.
“Here I only put one show up, thinking maybe this was the year,” Chesney says. “Now here we are doing something we’ve never done: a third show at the home of the Patriots! There has always been something special about New England, this music and how we all come together. I can’t wait to spend an entire weekend in one place with all of No Shoes Nation.
“If No Shoes Nation, the most passionate people in the world, aren’t 100 percent in, I want to meet them where they are,” he continues. “Well, they’ve spoken pretty loudly, so here we go, Gillette! Here’s to three nights in a row… What a way to close out what’s going to be a crazy, intense year of music, friends, memories and playing all night long.”
Chesney will be joined by Zac Brown Band, Megan Moroney and Uncle Kracker for all dates on his Sun Goes Down Tour, which is named after a collaboration between Chesney and Uncle Kracker, released in 2004.
“I wanted a name that suggested – obviously – when all the good stuff starts to happen,” Chesney said when the tour was announced. “The one thing I’ve learned about No Shoes Nation and these stadium shows is they start the good times early and they just keep it going. But we all know, when the sun goes down, that’s when people really get loose and enjoy themselves.”
The East Tennessee native also just released his new single, “Take Her Home,” from his next record. Although Chesney didn’t write the song, the 55-year-old knew the first time he heard it, that he wanted it on his new project.
“When I heard ‘Take Her Home,’ I just laughed,” Chesney recalled. “It was everything life is made of in less than four minutes. It’s true, honest and all the stuff that’s easy to forget. All those details and little moments? The deep-cut Cheap Trick, the black-and-pink suitcase in the back of the truck, a seven-pound, five-ounce baby?
“That’s what makes these kinds of life changes what they are,” he continued. “And it’s funny: no matter what stage you’re in, you really are always scared. That’s how you know it’s gonna be worth it.”
