Among Saturday’s set list was “Jack Daniels,” when Eric descended on a makeshift mini bar to meet friends, one of whom was surprise guest Kenny Chesney. Kenny and Eric toured together in 2013 on Kenny’s No Shoes Nation Tour.

According to Polstar, Eric's Holdin' My Own Tour is now the No. 1 most-attended music tour in the world in 2017.
