Chesney and Aldean add second Target Field performance on Sunday, July 19

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 2, 2014) - Anticipation for the summer of 2015 just hit record highs as Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney have announced that their respective tours, The Burn It Down Tour and The Big Revival Tour presented by Corona Light, will collide at 10 stadiums next summer. In addition to the previously-announced Saturday, July 18 show at Target Field, the country megastars announced today that they have added a second show at the ballpark on Sunday, July 19.

Tickets for both shows will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, December 5 at 10 a.m. online at www.twinsbaseball.com/chesneyaldean

We've played so many of these stadiums so many summers, I know just how hard the fans coming out can rock," Chesney says. "There aren't a lot of guys out there who can hit it the way Jason does, so I'm glad we're able to bring both of our tours together this summer. I know what me and the guys are bringing in terms of music, and I know Jason can hang with us!"

"Kenny is the guy everybody in country music looks up to when they think about workin' hard, building your career out on the road and getting to eventually play stadiums," added Aldean. "When we first started dipping our toe into that business a few years ago, he's the guy I would call or text for advice. We have a real friendship. Don't get me wrong...that doesn't mean I'm going to make it easy to follow me every night...he's gonna have to work for it harder than he ever has before!"

The Aldean Army and Chesney's No Shoes Nation are both known for their ability to work hard and play harder. With a strong commitment to living in the moment, these shows are destined to be a once-in-lifetime pairing - and everything summer, friends and music are meant to embrace.

Chesney, whose The Big Revival marked his 13th No. 1 Country Album debut, already topped the Billboard Country Songs chart for two weeks with "American Kids" -- and "Til It's Gone," the follow-up, is currently at No. 18 with a bullet.

Jason Aldean, whose Old Boots, New Dirt debuted at No. one on Billboard's Top 200 Album charts earlier this month, is known for his high-intensity shows, his sense of true grit and songs that capture the way his fans genuinely live their lives. The most downloaded male country artist in history and two-time Academy of Country Music Male Vocalist of the Year is also currently sitting at the No. one spot on country radio charts with lead single "Burnin' It Down."

Ticket prices for the Target Field concert start at $46.25. While the concert marks Aldean's first visit to Target Field, 2015 marks Chesney's third appearance at the home of the Twins - one of the Midwest's premiere concert venues.
