We know it’s only January, but what are you doing on Memorial Day weekend? If you don’t have plans already, we’ve got huge news. No Shoes Nation, rejoice. Kenny Chesney will take on Las Vegas in an epic residency at the Sphere beginning May 22. The 56-year-old shared the exciting news on the Today Show on January 16. He will play 12 shows during a four-week residency. Kenny is among a very select group of artists who’ve headlined the premier Las Vegas venue. He will also be the first country music act to headline the iconic venue, and he can’t wait! He told Today that this residence has been in the works since last May. “And it’s an exciting time for us. You know, me, my band, my crew, my road family, but not just us, but the audience. And the reason that this was exciting for me to do is because it’s such a different road for us to go down. I get to take my audience down this really immersive space, if you will,” Kenny Chesney said.
