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.
While no additional information has been shared at this time, the country singer’s website states that “details for next year’s shows won’t be revealed for several weeks,” but that “Chesney’s experience lit such a fire under him he couldn’t wait to share the news.” This implies that we will hear more within the next few months.
The 12-time Country Music Award winner was originally scheduled for a 12-show residency in 2025, but in response to fan demand, it was extended to a 15-show schedule. It therefore comes as no surprise that the artist was asked to return to the Sphere before the residency had even come to a close.
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, due to the technological capabilities of the venue, fans 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 2025 concert residency
Original tickets for Kenny Chesney’s 2026 Las Vegas Sphere residency are not yet available on Ticketmaster. General sale for his 2025 residency began January 31, and tickets sold quickly, so we expect something similar for his return in 2026.
VIP packages, including hotel stays, had been available for the 2025 shows, so it is likely we’ll see VIP packages for the 2026 shows. VIP tickets were available on Ticketmaster alongside general admission, while Vibee offered affiliated hotel package options.
Tickets to Kenny Chesney’s 2025 residency were also available for purchase from verified resale vendors such as StubHub and Vivid Seats, which we expect for 2026 as well.
How much are Kenny Chesney tickets?
For the country star’s 2025 residency, ticket prices varied depending on the ticket type, seated or standing option, and the selected date. Original tickets, on average, went for $200 for
Sandbar general standing tickets, while seated original tickets started at around $200 for most days of the residency.
The cheapest tickets on StubHub ranged from $76 to $160. Vivid Seats offered similar prices, with the most inexpensive tickets falling between $81 and $154. Overall, most resale tickets on both sites were comparable to, if not cheaper than, original tickets.
VIP packages for the 2025 shows started at around $720 and went up 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 included hotel stays. We are expecting similar VIP packages to be available for 2026.
