Kenny Returning to The Joint in Las Vegas

by Josh | 01.25.2010 | Posted In: Presale, Special Appearances, Tickets, Tour

After playing a show there last April, Kenny Chesney will return to The Joint at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas this year for two shows in May and two shows in July.

The show last April was one of the highest-energy and longest shows of the year for Chesney. He played his normal set and then 17 more cover songs! View the incredible set list here. Will fans get the same high caliber shows when Kenny returns on May 14th & 15th and July 2nd & 3rd?

“Obviously we like to play,” Chesney laughs about his band. “The beauty of the Joint is that not only is it a great rock and roll room, but they’ll let us get up there and play… and play… and play. We have so much fun, because we can throw in all kinds of stuff we don’t get to play in our regular show, and the audiences are diverse enough that no matter what we throw at them, they know the songs!”

“That’s what so great about a gig where the capacity is under 4000, especially at the Joint,” Chesney enthuses. “It’s the best of both worlds: you get the energy of a club, but it’s still enough of a stage that there’s room to run around and have fun! Because when we do these smaller, less structured shows, we like to let loose without tripping over each other or getting tangled in someone’s chord.”

Update – Tickets will go on sale Saturday, January 30th at noon through TicketMaster.

There will be a presale beginning Thursday at 10 am PT through TicketMaster. We’ll share the password when we get it (Please e-Mail it to us if you know it).

The Fan Club Presale will begin Tuesday, January 26th at Noon PT. Go to www.kennychesneyfanclub.com to get your tickets or to join the fan club.

Chesney Makes Pollstar’s Top Ten Touring Acts of Decade

by Josh | 12.21.2009 | Posted In: Tickets, Tour

Yes it’s another end-of-decade list, this time from Pollstar:

Pollstar has compiled its year-end research from 2000 to 2009 and come up with the highest-grossing touring artists of North America for the decade.

Coming in at No. 1 is touring juggernaut Dave Matthews Band, grossing nearly $530 million.

Although it’s no surprise that three major Live Nation touring artists – The Rolling Stones, U2 and Madonna – are in the Top 10, the numbers favor consistent annual live outings rather than the high-grossing acts who tour every few years.

The top three – Dave Matthews Band, Celine Dion and Kenny Chesney ($455 million) – have performed relentlessly since at least 2003 (when Dion began her residency in Las Vegas), with DMB and Chesney filling arenas and amphitheatres the entire decade. Obvious workhorses Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffett made the list as did the Energizer bunny known as Elton John, with or without his Piano Man counterpart. And, once hell thawed out, the Eagles spent much of the last 10 years filling venues.
