Country superstar Kenny Chesney is heading back to Las Vegas’ Sphere in 2026 — and fans can expect a completely reimagined experience.
The “American Kids” singer made history in 2025 as the first country artist to headline the futuristic venue, but next summer, he’s switching things up in a big way.
“We have to change it some. Half the show’s probably gonna be completely different,” Chesney revealed on SiriusXM’s No Shoes Radio. “That’s the beauty of it — in that environment, you get to do songs you don’t get to do at stadium shows.”
Chesney, an eight-time Entertainer of the Year, said fans can look forward to a fresh blend of classics, rare deep cuts, and new visuals built specifically for the Sphere’s massive 360° sound and immersive screen setup.
“I wouldn’t want to go to the Sphere one year and come back the next and see the exact same thing,” he joked. “It’s like going to the circus — you want to see something new. Whatever it is, we’re a circus act!”
2026 Sphere Show Dates
Fans will have five chances to see the new show next June:
Friday, June 19
Saturday, June 20
Wednesday, June 24
Friday, June 26
Saturday, June 27
Inspired by No Shoes Nation
Chesney said his return was inspired by the incredible fan energy during last year’s run.
“You can’t truly understand it until you start playing music in there,” he said. “The visuals, the sound, the way it surrounds people — it’s a whole other level.”
The experience sparked new creative ideas. Chesney said he plans to “reconfigure” some songs from last year while giving others “that immersive treatment.”
“Nobody has had more fun there, brought more joy — or that freewheeling Sandbar experience — than No Shoes Nation,” he added.
New “Guitars, Tiki Bars” VIP Experience
Fans can also expect an expanded Guitars, Tiki Bars Experience, offering a laid-back, beach-inspired vibe before and after each show.
Through a partnership with Vibee, exclusive VIP Concert & Hotel Experience Packages include:
Premium reserved or Sandbar floor tickets
A two-night stay at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas (connected directly to Sphere)
Access to The Vibe Room with a private bar, surf shop, and exclusive merch
A collectible lanyard, gift bag, and a copy of Chesney’s new book Heart Life Music
Luxury transfers and early entry
For fans arranging their own accommodations, the “Roll Like We Do” package offers all perks except lodging and transportation.
A Show About Connection and Joy
For Chesney, the 2026 residency is about celebrating connection, freedom, and the “No Shoes” spirit.
“If you didn’t get to see it, c’mon! And if you did, come live those songs again — because this isn’t something you get to do every single year,” he said.
