Kenny Chesney Is Deep In Tour Rehearsals

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Kenny Chesney is deep in tour rehearsals for his “Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour,” which will kick off in Tampa, Florida, on April 20 at the Raymond James Stadium. The tour will play in stadiums all over the country.

Kenny Chesney Is Deep In Tour Rehearsals

Kenny has spent the last several weeks moving from cutting video to sorting through light cues, working up songs with his band, and setting up Born, his first new project in four years, and is starting to bring it all together in anticipation of the first show.

“Where It All Starts”

Chesney said, “This is where it all starts to really feel real. We’ve got the stage and the T taped off. We have room to really play off each other and jam while we’re dialing the songs back in. But even more, all the teams are together, and we’re catching up after so many months off!”

He added with a smile, “When you’ve got a road family like I do, it’s a rush just being together.”

The tour will end at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts for the Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour’s three nights – August 23, 24, and 25 – in what has become a No Shoes Nation tour-ending tradition.

Kenny’s Band

Kenny told us of his tour band, “I never take my band for granted. When we get into rehearsals, and the massive amounts of sound start bouncing off the walls, it just makes you stop and take it in. After all these years, there’s nothing like hearing Kenny or John or Danny taking a solo, and nobody plays drums like Nick Buda. Harmoni and Wyatt, the way they fill in harmonies? It’s a sound unlike any other, and I get to listen to them for the rest of the summer!”

5 Of Kenny Chesney's Best Music Videos

  • "Come Over" (2012)

    This song was co-written by Sam Hunt before he broke as an artist. It was released in May 2012 as the second single from Kenny’s 2012 album Welcome to the Fishbowl.

    The music video was filmed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with some ocean scenes near Miami Beach, Florida. Chesney has described the music video as a “classy booty call.” It is entirely black-and-white and features a cameo from his dog, Poncho, standing on a paddleboard alongside Chesney.

  • "Young" (2001)

    Kenny’s “Young” video won the very first CMT Music Awards Video of the Year honor in 2002. The video also won in the Male Video of the Year category. The song was released as the lead single from Chesney’s 2002 album No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems. The song peaked at number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and at number 35 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

    The video was filmed in Sanford, Florida, at the old bridge over the St. Johns River and on the banks of the river.

  • "Who You'd Be Today" (2005)

    This music video is like a mini-movie. It starts off with two teenage boys in a basketball practice and then cuts to Chesney’s performance. Throughout the video, friends and couples are seen speaking to each other about life moments and tragedy. This creative video won the Male Video of The Year at CMT Music Awards.

    The song was the first single from Kenny’s 2005 album The Road and the Radio.

  • "You Save Me" (2006)

    This music video won Male Video of The Year at the CMT Music Awards in 2007. The video took a total of 7 days to shoot and was filmed in Mexico City. The video begins with Chesney as a member of the police department, traveling to a criminal spot in Mexico with three local police agents, presumably to make a raid. During the car ride, Chesney thinks back on his time with a girl he met and fell in love with in Mexico and her attempts to persuade him not to go with them.

    The video is over eight minutes long, with Kenny playing his part as the cop along with his Mexican counterparts.

  • "Setting The Word On Fire" featuring Pink (2016)

    “Setting the World on Fire” debuted at number 26 on the Australian Singles Chart, becoming Kenny’s first ever song to chart in Australia. In the U.S. and on the Country Airplay chart, it debuted at number 22 and has reached number one. The song also debuted at number 35 on the Adult Pop Songs chart for the week of October 8, 2016, and was his first entry on the chart.

    Neither Chesney nor Pink is featured in the music video, except for various posters and billboards displaying the collaboration. The black-and-white video tells the story of two young lovers who move to Los Angeles and have a romantic encounter, as described in the song’s lyrics. It was filmed around Los Angeles and Riverside, California.
