Kenny Chesney has decided to postpone the first several shows on his Chillaxification Tour due to fears of coronavirus. Currently, seven stadiums and four amphitheater shows have been postponed beginning with the kick off date on Saturday, April 18th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and running through May 28th at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Organizers are working to find alternate dates later in the touring season, and hope to have them figured out within six weeks. Those unable to attend the newly scheduled shows will be refunded.
Kenny said, “You can’t take risks without really understanding the consequences. In times of uncertainty, I won’t take chances with those I love. I can’t imagine, as much as we love being out there playing for the fans, being able to do that through the worry our nation is experiencing. So, while we wait to see how this terrible virus is going to impact our country, I think it’s only fair to move these first several dates now. We are figuring some of this out as we go, but I know people buy airline tickets, book hotel rooms – and I wanted to try to give everyone as much time to sort that out as possible.”
The Chillaxification Tour features special guests Florida Georgia Line, Old Dominion and Michael Franti & Spearhead.
