GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Two of the biggest stars in country music are coming together next year for a tour that will play at Lambeau Field.
Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean will team up for a 10-stadium tour and will play in Green Bay on June 20.
"We're excited to welcome Kenny Chesney back to Lambeau Field," said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. "His show here in 2011 was a festive night of great music, and also a great boost to the community. We look forward to another successful event in June."
It's scheduled as part of Chesney's Big Revival Tour and Aldean's Burn It Down Tour.
"It's very unique to have two artists of this magnitude in one show," said PMI Entertainment Group President Ken Wachter. "They are both headliners and country music superstars who sell out stadiums on their own. This is more than a concert, it's a major event."
It's unclear when tickets will go on sale or how much they will cost. Officials say that, along with other special guests, will be revealed in the coming weeks.
The 10 percent tax the stadium district board puts on all events will be in effect. But unlike in 2011, the entire amount won't be reimbursed.
"We've agreed to rebate 5 percent to PMI as part of the act," said Pat Webb, executive director of the Green Bay/Brown County Professional Football Stadium District Board. "The other 5 percent, we are collecting and using that to help PMI in case there are any downside issues."
Over 45,000 people attended Chesney’s 2011 concert. PMI and Packers officials say they expect about the same crowd next summer.
