KENNY CHESNEY CONTINUES SHOW AS HIS BLEEDING FINGER GETS BANDAGED
This announcement comes after Chesney’s “Here and Now Tour,” where he played at a variety of stadiums across the country in the summer of 2022. His 2023 tour will look a bit different, with stops at different venues.
“When a year is as hot and alive as 2022 was, you don’t want to try to recapture that magic. Or maybe it’s me. I still have the sounds of diesel engines and No Shoes Nation in my head,” Chesney said via his website.
“And that made me ask, ‘What else could I do? What would be something that would put me every bit as much in the music and give No Shoes Nation another reason to believe? How can we reach those people who might not come to stadium shows, who live a little off the obvious path, but who love this music every bit as much,” Chesney continued.

KENNY CHESNEY ‘DEVASTATED’ AFTER FAN DIES AT CONCERT: ‘LIFE IS PRECIOUS’
“And that’s when it hit me: ‘I Go Back.’ That song is about holding all those things that shaped you very close, recognizing how special they are – and keeping them alive any way you can. So, I decided that rather than just go repeat what we did, I wanted to take this band and these songs to a lot of the cities we played on our way up! Let’s call the tour I Go Back – and do just that,” the country singer said on his website.
Joining Chesney as his 2023 tour is the country singer behind “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too),” Kelsea Ballerini, who released her new album, “Subject to Change” in September 2022.
