The Goin' Coastal Tour was a co-headlining concert tour by American country music arts Kenny Chesney and the Zac Brown Band. It was in support of Chesney's thirteenth studio album Hemingway's Whiskey (2010) and the Zac Brown Band's second album You Get What You Give (2010). It was announced in November 2010, with nine stadium shows being announced first. An additional forty-one were announced two months later.[1] Chesney co-headlined the stadium shows with Zac Brown Band.[2] Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker served as opening acts. This was the Chesney's last tour before taking a two-year hiatus.

Background

Chesney told USA Today, "We are excited to feel the passion and the energy that the fans give us again", "There's a realsense of anticipation that our whole organization has about getting back on the road and playing some of our favorite stadiums and some new ones too, like Arrowhead and Lambeau Field where they haven't had a concert in over 20 years. We can't wait!"
