Kenny Chesney Adds Second Gillette Stadium Show

The country star recently added a second Gillette Stadium show for his 2016 tour.

Next year, two shows will once again be needed to accommodate No Shoes Nation at Gillette Stadium,

Due to overwhelming demand, Kenny Chesney announced Tuesday he is adding a second Foxborough show to his Spread The Love Tour on Friday, Aug. 26, 2016 and now Saturday, Aug. 27, 2016.

A summer staple at Gillette Stadium, Chesney has performed at the home of the New England Patriots and Revolution more times than any other artist and broke nine attendance records – many his own – on his Big Revival Tour last summer.
