Kenny Chesney has just announced that he will again be postponing his tour, which was originally set for 2020, but was moved to 2021, is going to be moved again, to 2022.

Kenny posted on his website that ALL of the stadiums on the 2021 itinerary will still host Kenny’s 2022 tour. It will be a completely new show. The details are being finalized now, however fans can expect details very shortly.

Chesney said, “We have waited for so long, I can’t play knowing I would disappoint a portion of No Shoes Nation who wouldn’t be able to get into the stadiums and the amphitheaters. There’s no way around that this year. As much I hate postponing further, I would hate telling people who waited we won’t be able to let them come due to capacity restrictions. That’s just not fair.”

"All current tickets will be honored for the rescheduled show date. If you love your seat, do nothing. You’re all set. Beginning today, March 22, patrons unable to attend the rescheduled shows may request a refund at the original point of purchase."

Messina Touring Group will announce the rescheduled dates for Chesney’s 2022 tour shortly.

He posted to Twitter, "Tour update. @BlueChairBayRum @MarathonPetroCo. All current tickets will be honored for rescheduled show date. If you love your seat, you’re all set. Beginning now, if you're unable to attend the rescheduled show, request a refund at point of purchase."
