Big news, country music fans! Kenny Chesney is coming back to Arrowhead for his new tour.

The country music star will perform in KC on Saturday, July 14, 2018, during his "Trip Around the Sun Tour." Thomas Rhett, Old Dominion, and Brandon Lay will open for Chesney. 

Chesney seems to be a fan of performing at Arrowhead Stadium. According to the news release, this upcoming concert will be Chesney's sixth time performing at Arrowhead in the past eight years.

The last time Chesney performed at Arrowhead was July 2016 to a packed crowd. He even used a picture of his Arrowhead performance as his album cover for "Live in No Shoes Nation." 

"Kenny Chesney remains one of the premier stadium show performers in not just the country music industry, but the music industry as a whole. He has acquired such a unique fan base and following through his time on the road that makes each of these shows a must-see event," Chiefs President Mark Donovan said. "Kenny's concerts, and his loyal fans that attend them, turn Arrowhead into the biggest party around when he comes to town and we are looking forward to having him on the Arrowhead stage for the sixth time next summer."
