Kenny Chesney’s social media post heading into the weekend featured a photo of him, New England Patriots helmet on, standing in the bleachers overlooking Gilette Stadium. “So proud to be back at (Gilette Stadium), home of the New England Patriots and the birthplace to (No Shoes Nation),” he wrote on X. “It’s emotional being back cause 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.
