After two cancellations, the artist who takes up three slots in your uncle’s six-disc changer is bringing the hootenanny to Tampa for a tour kickoff on Saturday.

And if you live in the neighborhood, then you can probably hear the 54-year-old practicing for the tour at Raymond James Stadium. On Tuesday night, Alert Tampa sent a community advisory saying that Chesney would be rehearsing from Tuesday until Friday.

“These rehearsals could be sporadic until 10:00 pm each evening. Although we don’t anticipate sound to be different than other events held inside the stadium, we wanted to advise you of this activity,” the alert said. “As always, the Tampa Sports Authority will take all steps possible to mitigate the impact to residents of Tampa and Hillsborough County during these events.”
Right before COVID-19 hit in 2020, the country superstar announced that he’d be rolling into Raymond James Stadium with Florida Georgia Line, as well as Michael Franti & Spearhead. In the two years that have passed, Florida Georgia Line and Franti have both been replaced by Dan + Shay and Carly Pearce, but Chesney remains, with new music to promote. Here and Now dropped in May 2020, and he’ll be, well, here and now, come Saturday for his first Tampa show since 2018.
