Kenny Chesney will return to Sphere in Las Vegas in June 2026 following his groundbreaking 2025 residency. Below, you’ll find confirmed dates, VIP package details, ticket information, and highlights from his Sphere shows.
After becoming the first country artist to play the Sphere, Kenny Chesney announced that he’s returning to Las Vegas in 2026. The country star wrapped up his 15-night residency on June 21, 2025, a jaunt that embraced hits, deep cuts, and a revolving door of special guests. To cap the celebratory night, Kenny let the crowd in on his future performance plans.
“I got a little carried away,” Kenny revealed after the show, “but after all the guests, all the songs we hadn’t planned on, all the people who came from all over, I just didn’t want to keep it a secret. I knew we were coming back, and if No Shoes Nation had half as much fun as we did, I wanted them to know we’d see them right here next summer. What could be better?”
He continues, “For all the intensity of the production, these shows have been unbelievably fluid, capable of change-ups and crazy requests. Yes, it really is another dimension when it comes to how you experience the music, but it’s ultimately the songs that stand out.”

The superstar says, “When we said we were taking No Shoes Nation into another dimension, no one truly knew what that meant. Now that we do, we can’t wait to come back and do it all over again.”
“You can’t truly understand until you start playing music with all the people there, feeling that energy and the way the visuals and the songs just consume people,” Kenny says of his return. “The more I watched the fans having this experience I’m sure they couldn’t imagine, the more ideas I had – both to reconfigure some of last year’s songs, and a few songs that seemed like they should get this immersive treatment – and wanted to do.
“I think there are so many ways for people to play this venue, but I feel pretty sure nobody has had more fun there, brought more joy – or that freewheeling Sandbar experience – than No Shoes Nation. And wherever they sat, we could hear ‘em, too. So, if you didn’t get to see it, c’mon! And if you did, well, come live those songs again – because this isn’t something you get to do every single year!”
Kenny continues, “I’m not the kind of person who loves to be in one place for very long if there’s not an ocean. But it was so cool having this experience with all the fans, seeing their faces and watching that party in the second and third levels – because it’s finally close enough to see – that I had to do it again.”

Highlights & Special Guests From Kenny Chesney’s 2025 Sphere Residency
Along with the ever-changing setlist, celebrity appearances elevated the buzz of Kenny’s much-talked about residency.
Kelsea Ballerini joined Kenny for opening night in Las Vegas, performing “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” their award-winning duet “Half of My Hometown,” and “You and Tequila.”
Grace Potter would show up several times throughout the residency and performed “You and Tequila” and a rendition of Rod Stewart’s “Hot Legs” and “Burning Love” from Elvis.
After touring with Kenny in 2024, reigning CMA New Artist of the Year Megan Moroney surprised the crowd with “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” her single “Am I Okay,” and “You Had To Be There,” her new duet with Kenny.
Old Dominion came by to perform a song that they wrote, and Kenny took to number one - the 2015 hit “Save It For A Rainy Day.” They also indulged the crowd in “I Was On A Boat That Day.”
Songwriter Kat Higgins provided an intimate moment when she performed an acoustic version of “Knowing You.”
Uncle Kracker brought the energy with the fan-favorite “When The Sun Goes Down,” “Follow Me,” and “Drift Away.”
Fans got a mix of decade-spanning hits when David Lee Murphy took the stage with “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright,” “Dust On The Bottle,” and “Party Crowd.”
Superstars like Reba McEntire and Lainey Wilson were also spotted enjoying the show.
During his final show of his 2025 residency, Kenny brought his frequent collaborator, Mac McAnally onstage. The pair sang their number one hit “Down The Road,” “Two Dozen Roses” (a song Mac wrote that Shenandoah took to the top in the ‘80s), and a homage to their pal Jimmy Buffett with “Come Monday.”
“He is such a soul/heart singer, and all the warmth of what he does only grew greater on that stage,” Kenny says of Mac McAnally. “Whether it was mostly the two of us and our guitars or something like ‘Two Dozen Roses,’ the audience got to experience the root of what makes him so great. That voice of his, which feels like an old friend, took on an even more comfortable presence. It was amazing.”
