Concert Announcement Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw announce stadium tour
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 12:42 PM
The Brothers of the Sun Tour featuring Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw announced a Charlotte tour stop on June 24 at Bank of America Stadium. Along with Chesney and McGraw is opening act Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. On-sale information will be announced soon.
This will be the second time a concert has been held in the stadium — the first was the Rolling Stones in 1997.
The stadium seats more than 73,000, plus any room they'd make available on the field. That's a far cry from the usual Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre concerts that has a capacity of around 18,000. Perhaps they're going for the NASCAR, we-love-to-watch-things-in-a-large-oval crowd?
In the meantime, here's a look at Chesney's video for "You and Tequila" featuring Potter.
