LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Sphere has announced their next headliner for 2025.
Country superstar Kenny Chesney announced Thursday that he will perform inside Las Vegas’ newest venue in May for a limited 12-date run. The residency is set to kick off on May 22.
“I’m always looking for ways to deepen the way No Shoes Nation experiences this music,” Chesney says of his decision to make 2025’s tour a trip to the next-level venue. “Over the years, they have shown me through their own response to these songs how passionate they are about what they mean, how these songs are part of their lives. When people give you that much heart, I want to give them even more. “When we started talking about all of the possibilities playing Sphere offered, I was all in. Just the idea of 4D technology and the impossibly dialed-in sound raises the experience for No Shoes Nation, literally immersing them in music, visuals, sound and being together. To me, this is going to be a whole new way of rocking the fans, and I can’t wait.”
Chesney joins the other cultural icons who have headlined the 17,600-seat venue, including U2, Dead & Company, Eagles, Phish and Anyma.
He explains, “When we started talking, I flew to Vegas with my key tour team. We stood on the floor as they ran the film of U2’s show and we were completely consumed. We could see the band, but it was so much more than that. It almost took what they were doing and multiplied it by another dimension.“
Knowing how much intensity our shows generate, my mind started thinking about all the things we could do. Once you see how the show wraps all the way around you, the dreaming begins.”
According to a press release, Chesney and his team kept the residency under wraps for nearly a year as they worked with the Sphere’s tech and creative teams to curate a whole new experience to highlight the country singer’s extensive catalog.
