You may already know that Kenny Chesney is hitting the Georgia Dome Aug. 3 for a show with the Zac Brown Band, Eli Young Band and Kacey Musgraves.

 Tickets for the show (priced at $39.50-$199.50) are on sale at 10 a.m. Dec. 7, and the country powerhouse has recorded a special message for Atlantans thinking about coming out to party with him.

 Chesney was recently seen performing at halftime during the Dallas-Washington Thanksgiving Day game – a gig he played for free as a tradeoff for the massive mainstream exposure it provided.
