After taking a year off from a nationwide stadium tour in 2017, country music superstar Kenny Chesney has announced that he will return to Arrowhead Stadium as part of his "Trip Around the Sun Tour" on Saturday, July 14, 2018. Thomas Rhett, Old Dominion and Brandon Lay will open for Chesney.

The concert announcement is the second for Arrowhead Events in 2018 as the organization again puts a focus on bringing a variety of entertainment options to the Home of the Chiefs. Chesney's 2018 stop will mark the 11th concert date for Arrowhead Stadium since 2011 and will be the 51st concert or music festival in Arrowhead Stadium history.

July's show will be Chesney's sixth visit to iconic Arrowhead Stadium in the past eight years, making him the artist who has played most frequently at the venue. It will be Old Dominion's third time playing Arrowhead (Chesney's 2015 "Big Revival Tour" and 2016 "Spread the Love Tour") and marks Thomas Rhett and Brandon Lay's first appearances at the stadium.

"Kenny Chesney remains one of the premier stadium show performers in not just the country music industry, but the music industry as a whole. He has acquired such a unique fan base and following through his time on the road that makes each of these shows a must-see event," Chiefs President Mark Donovan said. "Kenny's concerts, and his loyal fans that attend them, turn Arrowhead into the biggest party around when he comes to town and we are looking forward to having him on the Arrowhead stage for the sixth time next summer."
