Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) —  Country music star Kenny Chesney is bringing a familiar piece of the Gulf Coast to audiences in Las Vegas. His 2026 residency at the Sphere features "Flora-Bama" as a centerpiece of the setlist, paying tribute to the famous beachfront bar on the Alabama-Florida state line. Through the venue's immersive technology, the Sphere's visuals transport fans from the Nevada desert to the Gulf Coast. The song has become one of the most recognizable in Chesney's catalog and a fan favorite over the years.

In April 2026, Chesney held an exclusive concert at the Flora-Bama to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his SiriusXM channel, No Shoes Radio. The event drew dedicated fans to the iconic venue for an intimate performance and featured guest appearances, including country artist Megan Moroney. The concert further strengthened the connection among Chesney, his fans, and the coastal landmark long associated with his music and lifestyle.

Orange Beach and Gulf Shores locals are familiar with Chesney's ties to the area. Many have spotted the singer or members of his studio band, Rosie and the Revival, at the Flora-Bama over the years. His continued references to the venue have helped make it well-known beyond the Gulf Coast.

As thousands of fans attend the Sphere residency, the Flora-Bama is gaining national exposure. The performances introduce new audiences to the famous beachside bar and spotlight Alabama's coastal region. For many concertgoers, the song serves as an introduction to a venue that has become one of the Gulf Coast's most recognizable destinations.

The ongoing residency underscores how closely Chesney's music remains tied to the coastal culture that has inspired much of his career. By featuring "Flora-Bama" in his Las Vegas shows, he continues to celebrate a place that has become an enduring symbol of his Gulf Coast connection.
