Kenny Chesney has hinted that he'll be sharing his eagerly anticipated 2026 Sphere Las Vegas dates very soon, with the ‘No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems’ hitmaker taking to Instagram to tease, “#IGoBack2026…It’s time to get ready, No Shoes Nation”.
After his final show at the immersive, ground-breaking venue this summer, Chesney confirmed he would be returning next year - but we're still waiting on an official unveiling.
With the country legend now sharing this tantalising message alongside a clip of Sphere lit up with hundreds of ‘No Shoes Nation’ pirate flags, it seems the announcement is bobbing on the horizon. Chesney aptly adds the hashtag, ‘#IGoBack2026’, a tongue-in-cheek nod to his much-loved 2004 anthem of the same name.
Megan Moroney, Chesney's good buddy and ‘You Had To Be There’ collaborator, has already commented with the sunglasses emoji. With Moroney making a surprise appearance at one of this year's shows, we're hoping we can expect another live-wire duet from these two Holler favourites at Chesney's 2026 residency.
Last time around, Chesney revealed his Sphere Las Vegas dates in January, but we're hoping that - as he's started teasing an announcement already - we might be getting the full list of his Summertime 2026 residency shows in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, we'll be keenly looking forward to November 4th, when Chesney's first ever book, HEART*LIFE*MUSIC, is released. The Knoxville native is embarking on an expansive book tour alongside his friend and co-writer, Holly Gleason, this Fall as they delve into the creative process behind this project.
Given how electrifying, energising and euphoric Chesney's 2025 Sphere Las Vegas residency was, we have no doubt his 2026 residency will prove even more enchanting...
