Kenny Chesney caused the crash of his own website after he made a surprise announcement on Wednesday, July 16 about his beach concert called the Flora-Bama Jama.
The free concert will take place where Orange Beach and Gulf Shores meet Perdido Key on the Alabama/Florida border. When Chesney told fans they could sign on at 7AM on Thursday, July 17 to receive a wristband that would get them access into the concert, the site crashed. The site was back up at 7:30AM and the wristbands sold out in five minutes.
"Maybe the fans are as hungry to see me as I am them," Chesney says. "'Cause I can't wait to get out there and play. As I've said: I really miss not playing shows, seeing the people and having that exchange of energy that we have every night! The No Shoes Nation always brings it, and brings it hard -- and they push me to be a better artist." Chesney has taken the rest of 2014 off from touring to focus on his upcoming album release, The Big Revival, which will drop on September 23.
