    Kenny Chesney has announced a residency at the Sphere Las Vegas

    The 56-year-old country singer will play 12 shows at the 17,600-seat spherical venue in May and June and is excited about embracing the technology utilised by the venue.


    He said in a statement: "I'm always looking for ways to deepen the way No Shoes Nation experiences this music.

    "Over the years, they have shown me through their own response to these songs how passionate they are about what they mean, how these songs are part of their lives. When people give you that much heart, I want to give them even more.

    "When we started talking about all of the possibilities playing Sphere offered, I was all in.

    "Just the idea of 4D technology and the impossibly dialed in sound raises the experience for No Shoes Nation, literally immersing them in music, visuals, sound and being together.

    "To me, this is going to be a whole new way of rocking the fans, and I can't wait."

    The 'Old Blue Chair' hitmaker hasn't been to a gig at the venue - which has hosted shows by U2, the Eagles, Phish and Dead and Company - but was blown away after watching the 'One' rockers' concert film, 'V-U2', at the venue and seeing the special effects in action.

    He said: "We stood on the floor as they ran the film of U2's show and we were completely consumed. We could see the band, but it was so much more than that. It almost took what they were doing and multiplied it by another dimension.

    "Knowing how much intensity our shows generate, my mind started thinking about all the things we could do. Once you see how the show wraps all the way around you, the dreaming begins."

    The 'You and Tequila' hitmaker will perform at the venue on 22, 24, 25, 28, 30, and 31 May and 6, 7, 11, 13, and 14 June. Tickets go on sale on 31 January at KennyChesney.com.
