LOS ANGELES — Kenny Chesney is Sphere-bound. The country star announced last week that he’ll launch a 12-date residency at the state-of-the-art dome-shaped venue in Las Vegas in May, nine months after he wrapped a U.S. tour that hit Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium in July.

No Shoes Nation will be immersed in a beach experience during Kenny’s shows at the Sphere, and he’s stoked to bring his music to the legendary venue. When the shows were announced, Chesney shared that he was always looking for ways to improve his shows, and when this opportunity presented itself, he couldn’t say no.
