Kenny Chesney starts his 2023 I Go Back tour with special guest Kelsea Ballerini on Thursday. 

He says he has surprises in store for his fans. “A couple songs we’ve not played in a long time… the opportunity to sing our Vocal Event ‘half of my hometown’ with Kelsea makes me happy. And a few songs are being left behind. I spent the months off thinking about how we can change things up. I think we’ve got a lot of the songs people want to hear, but we’re adding a couple that nobody sees coming. I can’t wait to see the response.”

The tour kicks off in Charlottesville, Virginia.
