Kenny Chesney planned to kick off his 2020 Chillaxification Tour on April 18 in Arlington, Texas. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 11 dates on the tour—from April 18 to May 28—were scrapped.
The pandemic, however, didn’t stop Kenny from dropping his 19th studio album, Here and Now, on May 1.
Now, Kenny is looking forward to rebooting his Chillaxification Tour, which is tentatively slated to kick off on May 30 in Pittsburgh. As Kenny told Kix Brooks of American Country Countdown, he and his road family “feel a little strange and a little lost” right now.
“I truly do miss [touring],” says Kenny. “You know, this is the time of year where we’re all real busy, and there’s a great new energy of starting another tour, and going down the highway with all of your road family, and seeing your fans that care about this music. Right now, we’ve been forced to not do that, and it feels strange. I think the fans—and I think I speak for my whole road family when I say, ‘We feel a little lost.’ But, we’re cautiously optimistic . . . but, I’m not gonna lie to you, we all feel a little strange and a little lost because this is the time of year where we get to celebrate music and celebrate our love for one another, and that’s how we look at it, and we don’t get to do that right now.”
