Since March, Kenny Chesney has been zig-zagging around the country on his “Big Revival Tour,” playing arenas and stadiums with a mixture of friends including co-headliner Jason Aldean and guests Miranda Lambert and Eric Church.
Church is Chesney's right-hand man for the tour's stop in Atlanta on Saturday at the Georgia Dome. It's the third visit to the venue in four years for Chesney. He and Church will also be joined by Brantley Gilbert, Chase Rice and Old Dominion.
If you’re heading downtown to catch the country superstar and his buddies, here are some tips to help you navigate the evening.
Parking:
As always, MARTA is your best alternative. Kevin Hart will be performing at neighboring Philips Arena, so there is high probability of traffic snarls.
If you MARTA, take the red or gold lines south, transfer for free at Five Points Station to any westbound blue line, and exit at the first stop - the Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center Station. Other options are to take the train to the Five Points Station and walk west on Marietta Street. Turn on Andrew Young International Boulevard at Philips Arena/Omni Hotel and head toward the Dome. Or, take the train to the Peachtree Center Station and walk west on Andrew Young International Boulevard through Centennial Olympic Park and head toward the Dome.
If driving is still your preferred option, it is highly recommended that you purchase parking in advance. The Blue Lot and Yellow Lot are best for tailgating. The Gold Deck is the closest to the Dome; Red Deck is also open and available. Check out this map for lot locations: and purchase tickets at this link . All decks and lots open at 9 a.m.
Tickets:
Tickets are still available on Ticketmaster.com for $39.50-$199.50. Fans can receive a $10 discount on upper level seats and $20 on mezzanine level seats with the code BEACH. Some Sandbar tickets have been released, but are going fast.
Show Times:
The Georgia Dome will open doors at 4 p.m. Premium seat holders’ doors open at 3:30 p.m. Music starts at 4:45 p.m. with Old Dominion.
Pre Party:
International Plaza, between Philips Arena and the Dome, on top of the Red Deck, is the official pre-show party spot. Fans can pop by to have an adult beverage and check out Chesney’s American Kids bus
Prohibited Items:
Backpacks, professional cameras, outside food and beverage, laser pointers, selfie sticks, video recorders, coolers, inflatable balls, animals. Here is the full list: http://gadome.com/guest/A_Z_Guide.aspx#PROHIBITED
Driving Directions:
Make sure of your route before leaving the house. There is a ton of construction in the area with the new Atlanta Falcons stadium, so check out the road closure updates.
