Kenny Chesney made a big announcement on the Today show Thursday morning.

The country superstar will take over at Sphere in Las Vegas! He becomes the first country artist to headline there.

Chesney’s 12-date Live at Sphere residency kicks off May 22 with shows scheduled for May 24-25, 28 and 30-31 and June 4, 6-7, 11 and 13-14.

“I’m always looking for ways to deepen the way No Shoes Nation experiences this music,” Chesney said in a statement announcing the residency. “Over the years, they have shown me through their own response to these songs how passionate they are about what they mean, how they’re part of their lives. When people give you that much heart, I want to give them even more.”

Tickets for Chesney’s Sphere shows will go on sale Friday, Jan. 31 at KennyChesney.com.
