Kenny Chesney is extending his Live at Sphere Las Vegas residency. The Country Music Hall of Fame member announces he is adding six new shows to his previously announced Sphere dates. The new dates begin on July 1, and conclude on July 11.
“No Shoes Nation. This show has kept us inspired,” Chesney writes on social media. “Five nights turned into something bigger, and it only felt right to keep going. If we’re going to do it, let’s make it count, so we’re adding SIX additional dates. Sphere will be my only headline concerts this summer.”
In a press release, Chesney says he added the dates in part because of the ability to celebrate Independence Day with his fans.
“Beyond how different it was, there was all the fun,” Chesney says. “Seeing all the faces, plus all the crazy things we could do with the sound and visuals, I knew well before we finished, we were coming back and taking all of it even further. With all the work that’s going into changing up over half the show, adding more songs we might not be able to play in stadiums, pulling some surprises, five shows weren’t going to be enough.
“When we were able to make the 4th of July weekend a flyaway, come stay, see Guitars, Tiki Bars and let’s share a whole lotta love, I was very much, ‘Let’s do it,'” he adds. “So, we did. Like we flashed on the screen at our final show when it said, ‘See you next summer’ – we’re setting up for summer vacation, only the sand isn’t a beach, and you don’t have to drive anywhere!”

Why Kenny Chesney Is Returning For His ‘Live at Sphere Las Vegas’ Residency
2025 was Chesney’s inaugural year to headline his own Las Vegas residency. But even during his first year, the East Tennessee native was already planning his return.
“This isn’t something you can do every year,” Chesney reflects. “But to be able to put two years together, to take what you know and double down on something so unique? It’s an opportunity for us, No Shoes Nation and even people who just love Sphere shows to experience the joy in a completely different way.”
When speaking about his return, Chesney said fans should expect the unexpected for his 2026 Las Vegas shows.
“Having spent last year’s residency coming to really understand this dynamic technology and how it deepens the way we all – me, the band, the fans – experience the music, I wanted to get back in there and really push what was possible,” Chesney says. “We all had ideas. We were told certain things. But what I really took away is how much fun – and different kinds of experiences people can have – no matter where they experience the show from.
“Knowing what we know now,” he adds, “we’re working on new songs, some things we can’t do in stadiums, new visuals, new momentum to the set. Having watched No Shoes Nation taking it all in, we have a much better sense of how to make Sphere even more.”
