Kenny Chesney comes back to Acrisure Stadium for a big show on Saturday.
Cale Berger, part of the morning team from our country station Y108, says in the absence of the late Jimmy Buffet, Chesney has picked up the mantel and is keeping the islands vibe going.
“Jimmy Buffett had the Parrot Heads and bringing that kind of same good vibes, island spirit now is Kenny Chesney with his ‘No Shoes Nation’,” said Berger.
Chesney, Zac Brown band, Meghan Maroney and Uncle Cracker are also on the bill at Acrisure Stadium Saturday. The shows start at 5. Tickets are still available.
It’s the 12th time Chesney will play on the North Shore.
Gates for the “Sun Goes Down Tour” open at 4 p.m., the parking lots open at 1 p.m.
Some things to know before you go in:
The NFL’s Clear Bag Policy will be in effect for this show. We encourage fans not to bring a bag into events. If necessary, there are two options: a clear plastic bag the size of a 1-gallon Ziploc bag or a small hand held purse clutch. For more information on the bag policy, visit . In addition, Acrisure Stadium management does not permit the following items in the stadium: selfie sticks, coolers, bags thermoses, backpacks, large purses, cans, glass bottles, flasks, alcoholic beverages, laser pointers, noisemakers, strollers, video & movie cameras, tripods, audio recording equipment, weapons and any other items deemed dangerous and/or inappropriate. All bags are subject to inspection. Umbrellas may be brought into the stadium but are not permitted to be open in the seating bowl.
It will be a busy weekend in Pittsburgh with the Three Rivers Arts Festival, Pittsburgh Pride and the 3 Rivers Comicon all happening at the same time.
All the events in Pittsburgh could mean as many as 100,000 people are Downtown.
Pittsburgh Police Chief Larry Scirotto tells KDKA Radio’s Marty Griffin there are some police positions that remain unfilled, but it won’t impact safety.
“It’s not like we have 100 percent fulfillment on each detail every day, we just don’t and we haven’t in quite some time so, there’s accuracy to that but the parade route is secured and pride will have the appropriate number of resources and Chesney will have the appropriate number of resources,” said Scirotto.
