Kenny Chesney Adds New Date To Spread The Love Stadium Tour

Demand was so strong for Kenny Chesney's originally announced show at Foxborough's Gillette Stadium as part of his upcoming 2016 Spread the Love stadium tour, the country star has added a second date at the Boston area venue.

The first show at the stadium will take place on August 26th of next year with the newly announced second show set to happen the following night. Tickets for both shows will go on sale to the general public this Friday, November 20th at 10 a.m. EST.

Chesney had the following to say about the new date, "You never want to just assume people are as into you are you are to them. The people of New England, and especially Boston, have been so good to us for so long - and after this year, I didn't want to assume we could do those kinds of numbers a second straight year. But once we went up on sale, we realized this year could be even bigger than last year� which is crazy.

"Then again, we named the No Shoes Nation at Foxborough. We've sold out 13 shows over eight years, and the heart, strength and passion of the people of Boston is what inspired me to start the Spread the Love Fund after the Boston Marathon bombing. So, I don't know why I ever hesitated. Here's to two rocking nights with some of my dearest friends in one of my favorite places in the world."

The new show will mark Chesney's 15th performance at the home of the New England Patriots. He will be joined by Miranda Lambert, Sam Hunt and Old Dominion joining him for the weekend.

"Gillette Stadium holds so many special memories," Chesney says. "Last year when the Kraft family brought the Super Bowl trophies on stage with us� It was crazy. Not to mention playing 'Happy on the Hey Now' with Gretchen Rhodes, one of the original island girls who were a bridge to this city. Places like that really stand out, really give a reason to keep going during the summer - because as good as it is, you know there is something even better ahead."
