No Shoes Radio is Kenny Chesney's online radio station, now available to fans all over the world. Programmed by Kenny himself, No Shoes Radio features music from Chesney's audio catalog, including never-before-heard recordings, live concert broadcasts, and random drop-ins from fans, tour staff and Kenny's superstar friends. Plus, fans hear all of Kenny's favorite songs-everything from the rocking sounds of Bruce Springsteen and Dave Matthews to the Caribbean grooves of Bob Marley & The Wailers-plenty of music that brings to life the "no shoes" attitude that permeates Kenny Chesney's world. No Shoes Radio also takes listeners backstage at Kenny's concerts for exclusive access to the "Vibe Room" and Kenny's tour bus, including conversations and jam sessions with artists like Steve Miller, Sammy Hagar and Keith Urban. In the winter months, listeners travel with Kenny to the Caribbean and get first-hand insight into his life in the islands.

Corona Presents Kenny Chesney's "Goin' Coastal" Tour will be the biggest tour in five years for Chesney, who has sold over 30 million albums to date and is a four-time Country Music Association and four-in-a-row-Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year recipient. The nearly 60-date North American tour includes ten shows at NFL stadiums. Chesney, the only artist in any genre to sell 1 million concert tickets for eight consecutive summers, set the records for most sold-out shows ever by an artist at two of the stadiums: Foxboro, MA's Gillette Stadium, where tickets for his sixth sold-out show were gone in just eight minutes, and Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field stadium, where Chesney will take the stage for his fourth sold-out performance.
