Kenny Chesney has just announced amphitheater dates for his "Chillaxification Tour," which kicks off on May 7 at West Palm’s Coral Sky Amphitheater.

Kenny says, “As crazy and awesome as the stadium shows are – and there’s nothing like them – there is a vibe to the amphitheater shows that only happens in those places. You look out at the lawn, you see everybody coming together, singing the songs – and it’s this community that feels so close.”
