The Kenny Chesney Chillaxifi­cation Tour, which was scheduled to hit Heinz Field on May 30, has been moved to June 12, 2021. Yes, that is a Saturday.

“I kept talking to experts, city officials, team owners, medical people, looking to understand how we were coming along with resolving the health issues,” Chesney explained in a statement. “I had kept hoping that as time passed, informatio­n would not only increase, but there would be some sort of solution so people could come back together. But things weren’t getting any clearer, so I did the hardest thing for me, but obviously best option for the safety of No Shoes Nation, my road family and everyone at the buildings involved.”

It will feature the same lineup with Florida Georgia Line, Old Dominion and Michael Franti & Spearhead.

“So much goes into the stadium shows, people have no idea,” Chesney said. “Take all of that, then factor in all the other issues that come with rescheduli­ng, making sure there aren’t conflicts with baseball or other events nearby and maintain the kind of quality we want to bring. There were so many questions, so many unknowns, but I believe music makes a difference in people’s lives, so everyone on my team, the promoter’s team and all of the people we deal with have worked overtime trying to get this sorted out.

Original tickets are automatica­lly valid for the reschedule­d show dates. Patrons unable to attend the reschedule­d shows have 30 days from June 15 to request a refund at the point of purchase.
