Listen up, “American Kids.”
From June 19 through July 11, Kenny Chesney is returning to Las Vegas Sphere for the second straight summer.
This time around, the country artist — the first in Sphere’s history — is conducting a nine-show residency over 2.5 weeks.
If you’d like to be there, it isn’t too late to grab last-minute tickets to see the “No Shoes Nation’s” fearless leader live at the visually spectacular Sin City venue.
Based on our findings, seats are available for all shows and prices start as low as $81 including fees on SeatGeek at the time of publication.
That’s a steal to get into Sphere and see Chesney live.
Other gigs have tickets starting anywhere from $88 to $352 including fees.
In the event you saw Chesney on the Strip last year, be rest assured that the 58-year-old Tennessee crooner has some tricks up his sleeve for this year’s go-round.
“My first summer at Sphere was so special,” Chesney shared via Instagram last October. “Watching you guys experience the magic gave me so many ideas- reworking some songs from last year and adding a few that deserved this 4-D treatment.”
More recently, he added “The band and I have been back in rehearsals getting ready to make this show bigger and better than ever. Summer of Sphere can’t come soon enough” on social media.
While we don’t know what a “bigger and better” version of Chesney’s show looks like just yet, we do know that the 2025 concerts often consisted of 28 songs per gig including fan favorites “Get Along,” “When the Sun Goes Down,” “Somewhere With You,” “Summertime” and, of course, “American Kids,” according to Set List FM.
He left critics spellbound, too.
“It’s as much a concert as a sonic and visual roller-coaster ride pairing one of the most acclaimed stars of country with the evolving technological wizardry of the Sphere,” USA Today raved in a review of a May ’25 performance.
We can’t wait to see what the “bigger and better” version looks like.
