Chesney coming to Lincoln in May

LINCOLN, Neb. -- A country music legend will be making a stop in Nebraska next year.

Kenny Chesney announced his I Go Back 2023 tour Monday. The 21-date tour, which will start in March in Pennsylvania, will come to Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln on May 13. The tour is currently scheduled to wrap up in Newton, Iowa on July 22.

Tickets for the Lincoln show go on sale December 2 at 10 a.m. local time at ticketmaster.com.

Chesney will be joined by Kelsea Ballerini, a three-time GRAMMY nominee. Ballerini enlisted Chesney for her No. 1 “half of my hometown,” which won the 2021 Country Music Association Vocal Event and Video of the Year Award and was nominated for the 2022 CMA Single of the Year.

“I Go Back 2023 is going to be so awesome,” Chesney raves, “To be able to take this music to where it comes from? To have Kelsea Ballerini out there with me, maybe even singing ‘half of my hometown’? It’s going to be a tour unlike any other – and I can’t wait.”
