Kenny Chesney brought his "Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour" home to Nashville over the weekend and set another personal record for the tour. With 57,523 people packed into the stands, floor, and sandbar, it surpassed his best attendance at the venue by 300.
Soaked with sweat from the earliest part of his two-hour set, Chesney threw songs into the crowd and let them chime in. Without missing a beat, he ventured into old favorites -- duets with Uncle Kracker, Megan Moroney-- and surprise guests Old Dominion on "Save It for a Rainy Day." He also debuted "Just To Say We Did," the acoustic midtempo about living in the moment.
Kenny said after the show, "Nashville's known for the quality of its creative people, and when you hit that stage, you're playing for people who know what it means to pour life into songs, to play as if your life depended on it. When you're playing for people like that, you really want to give it all away."
The concert was Chesney's 200th stadium show – and one that resonated with a crowd that sang any time he stopped and tilted from side to side in time to his songs like "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems," "Get Along" and "Don't Happen Twice."
Kenny said, "Memories are made in moments like our show. You can't always know what it is, just that people live their lives inside these songs – and when No Shoes Nation comes together with purpose, shows turn into their own kind of momentum. Just hearing people sing back on so many of the songs was reason to push even harder. I'm lucky I have a band up to the task."
The country superstar has just three weekends left on the Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour, including an unprecedented three-night stand at Gillette Stadium.
Chesney has a lot to say about his latest radio single from his Born album, a song called "Just To Say We Did."
Kenny told us in a recent interview about his latest song, "'Just To Say We Did' is about getting off the couch of your life. It's about connection. It's about intimate details of your life that will stay with you forever."
He added with a smile, "It's about…in a lot of ways, living life to the fullest and doing things for no other reason than to make you feel alive."
Fans are loving the new song as they pack his summer stadium tours. His "Sun Goes Down tour" continues its trek across the nation through August with Zac Brown Band, Megan Moroney, and Uncle Kracker.
