Country music superstar Kenny Chesney has announced his next major appearance as excitement continues to build around his upcoming album, Silver Sands Marina.
The singer shared the news directly with fans on Instagram, writing, “Excited to share that I’ll be performing LIVE on TODAY Show September 17.”
Chesney will perform live in New York City on Sept. 17, as part of the Citi Concert Series on TODAY. The appearance comes just days before the release of his new studio album, Silver Sands Marina, which arrives on Sept. 25.
The performance gives fans one of only a few remaining opportunities to see the country star perform live this year after the conclusion of his Sphere Las Vegas dates.

The event will take place at TODAY Plaza in Rockefeller Center, located at 35 West 48th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues in New York City.
The TODAY appearance arrives during a busy season for Chesney as he prepares to release his 21st studio album.
Last month, the singer revealed that Silver Sands Marina would be released on Sept. 25.
“This album was built with human emotions that make us feel alive,” Chesney wrote while announcing the project on social media. “Cheers to new music.”

The album takes its name from Silver Sands Marina in Gilford, New Hampshire, a family-owned marina that has operated since the 1950s. The location also appears on the album cover.
The lead single from the record, “carry on,” is already climbing the charts and currently sits at No. 12.
The project also marks another chapter in a career that has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and produced some of country music’s most recognizable songs.
Among Chesney’s 23 Hot Country Songs chart-toppers are hits including “The Good Stuff,” “There Goes My Life,” “Summertime,” “Don’t Blink” and “American Kids.”
His longest-running No. 1 singles, “The Good Stuff” and “There Goes My Life,” each spent seven weeks at the top of the chart.
The live television appearance also comes as fans prepare for another major Kenny Chesney event this summer. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will open a new exhibit dedicated to the singer on July 23.
Titled Kenny Chesney: Living in Fast Forward, the exhibit will remain open through June 2027 and will feature memorabilia from throughout his career.
Several displays highlight his roots, including the football jersey and varsity jacket he wore while attending Gibbs High School and the Fender Concord guitar he played while studying at East Tennessee State University.
Other featured items include the cassette tape containing his 1992 demo of “When She Calls Me Baby,” the rocking chair that inspired “Old Blue Chair” and the handwritten chord chart used during the recording of “You and Tequila.”
With a live national television performance, a new album on the way and a career exhibit opening this month, Chesney’s latest announcement adds another milestone to a career already defined by decades of success.
