Kenny Chesney Tickets On Sale This Saturday!


Four-time Academy of Country Music Entertainer of The Year, Kenny Chesney, will bring his 2009 Sun City Carnival Tour, presented by Corona Extra, to The Amphitheater at The Wharf on Thursday, August 6th as a part of The Wharf’s Pepsi Concert Series. This hotly anticipated tour promises to be just as exhilarating as his prior tours that have thrilled over a million fans each of the past seven years.

Chesney was recently recognized by Pollstar as the number one ticket seller for all 2008 concert tours. Chesney’s tours boast sell outs at stadiums and large arenas all over the country including Boston's Gillette Stadium, which sold with over 68,000 seats in less than 10 minutes five years in a row. Miranda Lambert, whose ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’ won the ACM Album of the Year in 2008, and Lady Antebellum, who won the 2008 CMA Best New Duo/Group Award and was nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist, will also perform at the concert.

“The Wharf is thrilled to be a part of this tour, which includes stops at several NFL stadium sized venues. This validates The Wharf’s growing reputation in the music industry and we think this is a sign of more great things to come for The Wharf and the Gulf Coast area. This concert, being right before schools start back, will make a perfect ending to what promises to be a great summer season at The Wharf and at The Amphitheater,” says Pete Bryan, General Manager of The Amphitheater at The Wharf.

Tickets for this concert go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, February 14th online at Ticketmaster.com, charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000, or at The Amphitheater Box Office Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. or at The Dock Store at The Marina.
