As if seeing multi-year Entertainer of the Year Award winner Kenny Chesney in concert isn’t enough, several other superstar acts have been added to his spring and summer Poets and Pirates stadium tour as co-headliners and opening acts. Can you imagine the insanity that is sure to ensue at these venues when they see not only Kenny Chesney, but at the same time get to see Keith Urban, Leann Rimes, Big and Rich, Brooks and Dunn, Gary Allan, Luke Bryan, or even Sammy Hagar (okay, so maybe not as much as the others, but you get my drift)? All of those amazing artists have signed on to perform at least one of Chesney’s stadium concerts, and Leann Rimes will perform at all of them.

Brooks and Dunn will take the stage at 5 of the concerts in Columbia, S.C., (April 26), Dallas (May 3), San Francisco (June 8), Atlanta (July 13) and Baltimore (May 10). Keith Urban will join Kenny Chesney at 9 of his shows including Cleveland (May 24), Phoenix (May 31), Pittsburgh (June 14), Chicago (June 21), Nashville (July 5), Philadelphia (July 19), Foxboro, Mass. (July 27), Detroit (Aug. 2) and Indianapolis (Sept. 13). The other mentioned artists have been signed on for at least one show, but dates and locations for their performances have not yet been released.

Keep your eyes peeled at Kenny Chesney’s Official Site and also at Ticketmaster.com for more ticket and opening act information and to find a concert near you.
