Kenny notes that he feeds off the unique energy of a stadium crowd. “There’s something that happens when we’re on those big stages,” he says. “You get to where you can really feel the back row, like you were in a club on a really hot night. And there’s no way to really put that into words, but those shows, they're something else. And as long as we’ve got cities where we know we can bring the biggest tent, then we're gonna keep doing it.” The stadium concerts will feature Sugarland, Miranda Lambert, and Lady Antebellum as the opening acts. Montgomery Gentry will also join the lineup on selected dates. Kenny adds that he will also play smaller arenas and amphitheaters this year, as well as an occasional bar gig or two. Kenny’s first stadium show takes place May 2 in Dallas. For the complete stadium concert schedule, go to kennychesney.com.
