New Country Music Hall of Famer Kenny Chesney is bringing his No Shoes Nation back to Sphere in Las Vegas in 2026, when he headlines his high-energy concert experience at the venue for five shows in June. The new performances are scheduled for June 19, 20, 24 and 26-27.

“You can’t truly understand until you start playing music with all the people there, feeling that energy and the way the visuals and the songs just consume people,” Chesney said.

“The more I watched the fans having this experience I’m sure they couldn’t imagine, the more ideas I had – both to reconfigure some of last year’s songs and a few songs that seemed like they should get this immersive treatment – and wanted to do.

“I think there are so many ways for people to play this venue, but I feel pretty sure nobody has had more fun there, brought more joy – or that freewheeling Sandbar experience – than No Shoes Nation,” he continued.

“And wherever they sat, we could hear ’em, too. So, if you didn’t get to see it, c’mon! And if you did, well, come live those songs again – because this isn’t something you get to do every single year!”

In May, Chesney launched a 15-concert run at Sphere, thrilling fans with his signature beach-and-party vibe, which celebrates island living and fun times, in addition to giving fans hit song after hit song.

In the process, Chesney became the first country artist to headline the 17,600-seat venue, which is known for its immersive sound and visual spectacle. Other Sphere headliners include U2, Eagles and The Backstreet Boys.

Tickets for the 2026 Sphere shows will go on sale starting Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster. The shows will feature a refreshed Guitars, Tiki Bars experience, and VIP package holders will have access to a Vibe Room with a surf shop and bar.
