Kenny Chesney announced Thursday a 12-show residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

“I’m always looking for ways to deepen the way No Shoes Nation experiences this music,” Chesney, 56, said, per PEOPLE. “Over the years, they have shown me through their own response to these songs how passionate they are about what they mean, how these songs are part of their lives. When people give you that much heart, I want to give them even more.”

According to the report, Chesney will be the first country artist to play the Sphere.

“Just the idea of 4D technology and the impossibly dialed in sound raises the experience for No Shoes Nation, literally immersing them in music, visuals, sound and being together,” he said. “To me this is going to be a whole new way of rocking the fans, and I can’t wait.”

The residency is scheduled to begin May 22 and will wrap up on June 14.
