Kenny Has Top Tour

8/1/2007 Stephen L. Betts Pollstar, the trade publication for the touring industry, has released their numbers for the first half of 2007. And once again, Kenny Chesney has the Top Country Tour. "I've said it before, and for me, it's really true,” Kenny said when he heard the news, “We get out there to rock the fans. It's all about how good of a show can we give'em - and I think what's amazing is how much they give us! Every summer, I think this is the year we can't get any more energy, any more sound, any more craziness out of the fans… and then they show us!" The only country act to play NFL football stadiums over the last three years - this year included sold-out stops in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Seattle and Boston, as well as an upcoming show in Detroit - Chesney's Flip Flop Summer Tour has already played to over a half-a-million people and grossed in excess of $33 million by June 1. Started in mid-spring, the Cruzan Rum sponsored tour is among the Top 5 tours in any genre.  “I had a girl in the meet & greet in Boston tell me it's not summer until we get there." says Kenny. "and that's a pretty good feeling. All I've ever wanted to do was kick back with my friends, listen to some great music and have fun. That I get to do it with 20- or 50,000 people is pretty cool. Never thought I'd throw a party that big, but why not?”
