If you were worried you missed your chance to see Kenny Chesney live, worry not: during the final performance of his 2025 Las Vegas residency, the country legend announced his inevitable return to the Sphere for another residency in the summer of 2026. This information was shared again on Chesney's Instagram shortly after, confirming the news. I've broken down how to get Kenny Chesney tickets for his 2026 return below.
The official announcement and schedule were released on October 21, with five shows scheduled for June 2026. In addition to this, Kenny Chesney has an April appearance scheduled at the Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale, which means there is no shortage of 2026 opportunities for the No Shoes Nation to catch the star performing live.
Kenny Chesney, who boasts 30 million albums sold worldwide and multiple awards, released his debut album, "In My Wildest Dreams," in 1994. Since then, with countless albums and singles to his name, Chesney has enjoyed a long and prosperous career. In 2025, Kenny Chesney was also named a member-elect to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
The 2025 Las Vegas residency had been particularly exciting for fans, and, thanks to the venue's technological capabilities, they were not disappointed. Chesney himself said, "These shows have been unbelievably fluid, capable of change-ups, and crazy requests. (…) When we said we were taking No Shoes Nation into another dimension, no one truly knew what that meant. Now that we do, we can't wait to come back and do it all over again."

How to buy tickets for Kenny Chesney’s 2026 residency
Original tickets for Kenny Chesney’s 2026 residency are available for purchase on Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster also provides links to partner site FEVO for package reservations, including suites alongside Sphere tickets.
Additionally, tickets can be purchased from verified resale vendor sites, such as StubHub and Vivid Seats. Depending on the demand for each individual date, you may find better-priced options on these sites over Ticketmaster.
How much are Kenny Chesney tickets?
Original tickets for Kenny Chesney’s Sphere residency vary in price depending on the location, with reserved seats ranging from $120 (Original Standard) to over $1,000 (Original Platinum). Some more affordable seat options may have limited screen visibility, which will be indicated on Ticketmaster if this is the case. Standing floor tickets are also available for around $265, which offers the closest distance to the stage and may be more affordable if you’re looking to get up close to the action and don’t mind standing. In general, the Sphere is an extremely interactive venue with a high volume of screens to view the show from, so being in a seat further back does not mean you will have trouble seeing or enjoying the performance.
Resale prices are currently reasonable in comparison to standard tickets, as the shows still have original tickets available. StubHub prices range from $171 (as of June 26) to $250 (as of June 20) for the most affordable options, with prices on StubHub ranging from $150 to $199 for the same two shows. It may be a good idea to check resale vendors first before looking at original tickets, as it's possible to score a closer ticket for a lower price at this time. If you are interested in VIP packages, Ticketmaster is likely the best option.
VIP packages for the 2026 shows start at about $890 and increase from there, depending on the selected package. VIP tickets included a choice of standing or premium reserved seats, priority entrance into Sphere Las Vegas, merch, and more. In addition to VIP concert tickets, some packages include hotel stays at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas (The Venetian or The Palazzo). Packages are priced starting at $926 for a general hotel and concert experience, or $1,358 for a VIP hotel and concert experience package. Details regarding the VIP package can be found on Ticketmaster’s partner site Vibee.
For Kenny Chesney’s Tortuga Music Festival appearance, prices are on the higher end (starting at $520 for StubHub and $506 for Vivid Seats) in comparison to his Sphere performances; however, this is due to the ticket including entry to a festival, which encompasses several artists and activities to participate in.
Who is opening for Kenny Chesney’s residency?
For Kenny Chesney’s 2025 Sphere residency, the opening act was DJ Brandi Cyrus. Chesney said that he felt a DJ, rather than a band, was the best choice to get the party started, as he wanted people to dance on the open floor.
While we couldn’t find an official announcement at this time regarding a 2026 opener, it can be expected that he may do something similar to his previous Sphere performances next year as well.
Will there be international tour dates?
Kenny Chesney had no performances scheduled outside Las Vegas during his 2026 residency and appearance at the Tortuga Music Festival in April.
