Kenny Chesney will headline his 12th stadium show in Pittsburgh — but his first officially at Acrisure Stadium — next spring.

The chart-topping country singer is bringing his Sun Goes Down tour to the North Shore on June 1. He’ll be joined by Zac Brown Band, Megan Moroney and Uncle Kracker.

Chesney and Uncle Kracker joined forces on 2004’s “When the Sun Goes Down,” leading to the naming of this tour 20 years later.

“I wanted a (tour) name that suggested — obviously — when all the good stuff starts to happen,” Chesney said in a release. “The one thing I’ve learned about No Shoes Nation and these stadium shows is they start the good times early and they just keep it going. But we all know, when the sun goes down, that’s when people really get loose and enjoy themselves.

“That was the thing about Kracker and my song. It captured a vibe and a moment so perfectly. No matter how much fun you’re having all day long, ‘everything gets hotter when the sun goes down …’ I know from years of experience that’s true.”

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Nov. 17 at ticketmaster.com.

Chesney has played Heinz Field 11 times, starting in 2005 through June 11, 2022, as Heinz Field became Acrisure a few weeks later.

“Zac Brown Band understands high-energy country, the same way Alabama did, and they’ve got our friend Caroline Jones in their line-up now too,” Chesney said. “Megan Moroney isn’t just one of the smart new voices in country, she’s really bringing a sense of heart and joy to the music — and I’m fired up to be bringing her out to No Shoes Nation.

“And Uncle Kracker has been part of so many fun times, crazy moments and memories made, it always kicks things up a notch when he’s out there with us. So, it really is old friends, new friends and a whole lotta love.”
