The CMA Music Fest often has included A-list country stars as surprise guests during the LP Field shows.

Looks like they just couldn’t help but talk about this year’s big surprise, one four-time CMA Entertainer of the Year Kenny Chesney.

He’ll close the LP Field shows Sunday night (June 14), the same night that folks like Taylor Swift and Montgomery Gentry play.

Kenny’s tour doesn’t include Nashville this year, so it may be his only public performance in Music City in ‘09.

Here’s ticket info from the CMA:
