Grossing just over $24 million and playing to almost 2 million fans with his "No Shoes, No
Shirt, No Problems" tour, Kenny Chesney kicks off his Margaritas 'n' Senoritas tour
January 16 in Tupelo, MS. "There's going to be a lot more music — and more fun–even
more of a have-a-good-time and a party-with-us kinda night," says Chesney. "There's
more lights, more video, and the stage is going to be very clean, almost a bit empty.
That way everybody's got plenty of room to move."
With video screens unlike anything that's been mounted in country music to date,
Chesney had to enlist the company providing production support to the Rolling Stones
on their 40 Licks Tour to create what he'd envisioned.
"We're going to do all the hits, but we're going to add in a bunch more songs from No
Shoes," says Chesney. "The fans have let us know which songs they love and want to
hear so we're adding them in. And we've gone out and shot some special footage for the
video screens this year, as well, making this show even more personal and closer to
home."
Joining Chesney for the first leg of Margaritas 'n' Senoritas tour will be 2000 CMA Duo
of the Year Montgomery Gentry and 2003 American Music Award Favorite New Country
Artist Kellie Coffey.
