Country music superstar Kenny Chesney is closing out his “Sun Goes Down” tour with a spectacular three-night run at Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots and the birthplace of his devoted fan base, No Shoes Nation. As he prepared for the weekend, Chesney shared his excitement and gratitude in a heartfelt social media post.
“So proud to be back at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots and the birthplace of No Shoes Nation,” Chesney wrote on X. “It’s emotional being back because it’s always the end of the tour. But we are full of gratitude for this summer, and we cannot wait to spend three nights playing music in New England with all the fans, family, and island friends. It’s gonna be a magical, beautiful weekend and I am so fired up and thankful. #SunGoesDownTour.”
Chesney’s final performance at Gillette Stadium on Sunday will mark the end of a massive tour, with the Zac Brown Band also taking the stage. According to MassLive, by the time the weekend concludes, Chesney will have performed in front of more than 180,000 fans—a fitting grand finale for the “Sun Goes Down” tour.
The story behind this remarkable three-night slate is rooted in a gamble taken years ago by Chesney and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Their bold decision led to a strong friendship and the creation of what has become one of the most iconic tour stops in Chesney’s career, as detailed in a recent MassLive article by Ronnie Ramos.
As Chesney wraps up his tour in New England, the magic of the weekend is set to leave a lasting impression on both the artist and his fans.
