Country music mega star Kenny Chesney will perform a free concert in Wildwood  on June 20, 2012.

Chesney originally wanted to hold the concert on a boardwalk and considered Seaside, NJ.  but Chesney saw the Wildwood Beach and loved it.

The concert will be televised on the Youtube channel “Vevo.”  The production will utilize 15-18 cameras and will use one of Pink Floyd’s former stages.   The stage, described as a “monster stage” by a source,  will sit between Mariner’s Pier and the old Fun Pier and will face the boardwalk.  30-40 trailers will transport stage and production equipment and it is expected to take four days to build the stage on the beach.

the concert is sponsored by America Express. A fenced in area in front of the stage will accommodate American Express customers who will get the first 15,000 tickets.  The area around the fenced-in section and the Boardwalk will accommodate any others.  there will also be two jumbotrons set up.

The concert is set to begin at 8:30pm and end at 10:15pm.
