The announcement follows a teaser campaign featuring beach imagery with a blue chair, guitar, and cowboy hat. Chesney expressed enthusiasm about utilizing the venue's 4D technology and advanced sound systems to create an immersive experience for his fanbase, known as No Shoes Nation.

The 18,600-seat venue, which opened in September 2023 with U2's residency, has since hosted performances by Dead & Company, Phish, and the Eagles. Chesney was particularly inspired after watching U2's performance film at the venue, citing the impressive technological capabilities as a major draw.

Performance Dates:

  • May: 22, 24, 25, 28, 30, 31
  • June: 4, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14

Tickets go on sale Friday, January 31, at 10 AM PT through Chesney's website. VIP packages are available now for early access.

This residency marks another milestone for both the Sphere and country music, promising an unprecedented concert experience that combines cutting-edge technology with Chesney's signature beachy country style.
