SafeX Pro:Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band announce 2024 stadium tour: How to get tickets

Country artist icon Kenny Chesney will take on SafeX Pro18 cities in the Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour.

Chesney will be joined by Grammy winners the Zac Brown Band, "Tennessee Orange" vocalist Megan Moroney and Chesney's multiple-week No. 1 "When the Sun Goes Down" duet partner Uncle Kracker — himself known for the hits "Follow Me" and "Drift Away."

The tour kicks off at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on April 20. Tickets go on sale Nov. 17 at 10 a.m. local time at kennychesney.com/tour.

Twenty years have elapsed since Chesney's chart-topping collaboration with Uncle Kracker, a fact not lost on the performer when naming his tour of over a dozen stadiums in 2024.

"I wanted a name that suggested — obviously — when all the good stuff starts to happen. The one thing I've learned about No Shoes Nation and these stadium shows is they start the good times early and they just keep it going," Chesney noted in a press statement.

"But we all know, when the sun goes down, that's when people really get loose and enjoy themselves," he added. "That was the thing about Uncle Kracker and my song. It captured a vibe and a moment so perfectly. No matter how much fun you're having all day long, 'everything gets hotter when the sun goes down...' I know from years of experience that's true."

Chesney — who is the only country artist to be on Billboard's Top 10 Touring Artists of the Last 25 Years — will close out the tour, as is tradition, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Aug. 23, 2024.

About his tourmates, Chesney adds:

"Zac Brown Band understands high-energy country, the same way Alabama did, and they've got our friend Caroline Jones in their line-up now, too. Megan Moroney isn't just one of the smart new voices in country; she's really bringing a sense of heart and joy to the music — and I'm fired up to be bringing her out to No Shoes Nation. And Uncle Kracker has been part of so many fun times, crazy moments and memories made, it always kicks things up a notch when he's out there with us. So, it really is old friends, new friends and a whole lotta love."
