Make it a double: Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean add second Target Field show
The July 19 concert will go on sale Friday alongside the previously announced July 18 gig.

For the first time in five seasons, the Twins will host two major concerts at Target Field next summer instead of the usual one – but it'll still involve the same usual suspect.
Kenny Chesney has added a second date with co-headliner Jason Aldean on Sunday, July 19, at the Minneapolis ballpark even before tickets for the previously announced July 18 show there have gone on sale. Seats to both concerts will be available Friday at 10 a.m. through the Twins' ticket system, priced from $46.25 to $279.75. Just getting on the field for the show will cost a minimum $182.75.
The July 19 gig will be Chesney's fourth performance at Target Field in as many summers, a curious fact we tried to explain after the July 18 date was announced.
As Jon Bream reported in a recent front-page story about country music's Teflon marketability in the Twin Cities, the pair of Chesney-Aldean concerts are only two of four stadium concerts penciled in for next summer in Minneapolis: One will be a Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line pairing, and the other will be a Zack Brown Band date.
