KENNY: THE MILLION FAN MAN

Kenny Chesney has drawn more than one million fans for his summer tour—the fifth year in a row he’s hit that magic number.

Kenny reached one million fans in just 70 shows during his The Road & the Radio Tour, filling football stadiums in Dallas, Seattle, Nashville and other cities. In the last five summers, Kenny has played for 5.8 million fans, according to his record label. “It just feels like one big party,” says Kenny. “And it’s funny. We had someone come up to us the other night and she said, ‘You know, if we don’t come see you, it’s like it’s not summer.’ And that felt pretty damn great!” Kenny’s tour continues with stops in St. Louis and Chicago this weekend.
