Keith Urban Joins Kenny Chesney’s 2008 Tour

Kenny Chesney has announced he’ll be joined by Keith Urban on his 2008 Poets & Pirates Tour, but only for a handful of performances!
Keith and Kenny will join up in in Foxboro, Massachusetts on July 26, followed by about eight other stadium shows after.
“Which is why I’m glad I have the ability to play stadiums,” said Chesney. “It’s the only way that it would make sense for Keith where he is in my career to be able to come out and do some shows with us. We couldn’t do this anywhere else… and it’s something I’ve wanted to do since he played the first stadiums shows with us three years ago.
“If you’re committed to bringing the fans the best show possible, who else would you call? Keith does it all - and for me, he’s someone I’ve spent time in the islands with, toured the country with, laughed with, hung with, made music with. It’s gonna be as much fun backstage when we’re not rocking as it is onstage - and that’s saying something.”
“What Kenny’s stadium concerts are, is the biggest party you’ve ever been to with the loudest ghetto blaster you’ve ever heard and the audience still singing louder than us,” said Urban. “Me I’m just a kid like 65,000 others that are going to run away with the circus this summer. Bring it on Kenny.”
The two also paired up for Kenny’s Guitars, Tiki Bars & A Whole Lotta Love Tour in 2004.
LeAnn Rimes is still slated to be Kenny’s opening act for the entirety of the tour. I’m not sure if or how this will affect Keith’s touring plans with Carrie Underwood yet.

What about the DC Area? He did a stadium tour in 2005 and stopped at FedEx Field. It was wonderful! Keith was with him then too as well as Gretchen Wilson.
