Kenny Chesney : Somewhere in the Sun Tour After being the second most attended tour in any genre - right behind Prince's incredible multiple night in many cities Musicology Tour - Kenny Chesney is getting ready to do it again! With Guitars, Tiki Bars & A Whole Lot of Love second leg vet Uncle Kracker and CMA Horizon winner Gretchen Wilson, the reigning Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year is all set to go Somewhere In The Sun debuting his full production March 11 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "It's a funny thing," says the fan-voted American Music Award Artist of the Year, who played to over 1.2 million fans last year. "We rock so hard out here, you get to where you think you really need that break. And then once the feeling of the rolling down the road fades away when you're sitting in a chair and the cheering stops ringing in your ears, you start itching to get back out here. "For as much as I always say I'm not gonna work during December, we were finalizing set designs, talking about video screens, looking at the footage... And you know, I really love being out there with the fans and rocking the people. It IS where I feel most alive, so to tell the truth, I can't wait to get back out there." Having played to over one million fans over each of the past two years - including an emotional homecoming performance to over 67,0000 at the University of Tennessee's Neyland Stadium - his live show has been an incredible component in Chesney's burgeoning superstardom. With attendance records shattered in many markets - including the legendary Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, people cutting fences to get into certain outdoor amphitheatres and a million dollar night at the Tacoma Dome, Kenny Chesney concerts inspire a level of pandemonium not traditionally associated with country music. "We can get pretty crazy on that stage," admits the man whose triple platinum+ CMA Album of the Year When The Sun Goes Down was the # 3 top seller of 2004 behind Usher and Norah Jones. "But it's nothing like how wild those fans get! When we're standing up there and we can hardly hear ourselves for the cheering, it just psychs us up that much more... I always say, 'Whatever's bothering you, whatever's got you down... When you come in here, you better leave it out there!' And you know it has the same effect on us. "All of that really makes us want this year's tour to be even better, even more exciting. We've been working on the set concept since last summer. They're building it now... and we're trying to figure out a few other things... things that you're gonna have to wait and see. What I can tell you - without wrecking any surprises or giving anything away - we've had some great acts out with us, and I think with Gretchen and Matt (Uncle Kracker), we're gonna take the energy up another notch." "I can't wait to get to Green Bay to put it all together and see how it works!" Kenny Chesney's new album, Be As You Are is set for release on January 25, 2005.
