Two of the biggest acts in country music — Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean — are teaming up next summer at Target Field.

July 18 will mark Chesney's third time in four years playing at the Minneapolis home of the Minnesota Twins. This is one of 10 stadium dates that the two have on the tour.

Ticket information and the full concert bill will be announced later.

Target Field, which opened in 2010, held its first concert two years later, with Chesney and Tim McGraw doing the honors. Chesney came back the next summer with the Zac Brown Band along.

Chesney is riding high with fans now with September's release of "The Big Revival," his 10th consecutive studio album to debut at the top of the charts. Aldean's "Old Boots, New Dirt" hit the ground running at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart this month.
