The rumors proved to be true. Kenny Chesney announced this morning that he’ll team up with Tim McGraw for several shows next year, pairing together two of the biggest men in country music.

“Tim and I have been great friends since we first toured together, and I can’t wait to get back on the road with him,” Chesney said. “He’s one of my closest friends in music and in life, and I know this tour is going to be something special.”

“Our friendship was forged on the road, so it’s going to be a blast heading out with Kenny again,” said McGraw. “We’ll be having as much fun on stage as the fans will be having in the audience.”

‘Brothers of the Sun’ will be the first time in 10 years that Chesney and McGraw have hit the road together. The reunion will kick off June 2 in Tampa, FL and will feature stadium shows on weekend dates at venues across the country. ‘Brothers of the Sun’ will also feature special guests Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and Jake Owen.</blockquote>

Given the size of these venues it will be HUGE EXPOSURE - still, here at TIS.com we can't help but wonder - what? Chesney fans have been more than receptive to Grace appearing with KC. Still, they've limited themselves to a country format. Wondering how a full on Nocs show will resonate with the country folk? Pretty sure the next record ain't gonna be twangy but I could be wrong.
