Kenny Chesney To End The Big Revival 2015 In Boston

Kenny Chesney will end The Big Revival 2015 with two sold-out nights in Boston on Aug. 28 and 29. “There are no fans like Boston fans,” Chesney says. “Boston was one of the first cities to really embrace this music, to bring an intensity that equaled what we were trying to do – and when you know it’s the last shows you’re playing for a while, you want to take as much of that energy with you when you’re done. In a summer where every show seems to top the one before it, there was only one city we knew could close this down, and close it down with the passion we’ve been building all summer!”
