ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Kenny Chesney's original Chillaxification Tour tour in 2020 was postponed and rescheduled for 2021, but then pushed back again in order to wait for full-capacity crowds to be allowed in all stadiums. Now the 2022 tour locations and dates have been announced.
Chesney will be in St. Louis to perform at Busch Stadium on May 7 for the "Here And Now 2022" tour. It will be the second stop on his 19-stadium tour.
"I didn’t want to announce until we knew we could come full on... strong... and without a care in the world. I always want to be that place where you can let go, feel safe and have the time of the summer," Chesney said. "I want to start 2022 with the awesome rush that embodies everything playing for No Shoes Nation is. We’re calling the tour Here And Now 2022, because when we get together, there is only the present – and it’s so electric and good, I know I don’t want it to end. I just want to be 100% there with all of you."
The county mega-star explained in a press release earlier this year that he would rather wait for a safer environment than try to perform in sold-out areas at reduced capacity and with pandemic-related guidelines.
