Kenny Chesney is busy wrapping up one of the summer's hottest tours. His performance at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Aug. 10, grossed nearly $5 million, with ticket prices topping out at $260. Chesney's Aug. 3 date at Georgia Dome in Atlanta grossed almost $4 million, and his Ford Field show in Detroit brought out more than 45,000 fans, Aug. 17. The Messina Group-promoted tour only has two dates left, Aug. 23-24 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass.

Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., appears on Hot Tickets twice this week with very different acts. Rockers KISS, who recently announced a role in bringing professional arena football back to southern California, brought 3,225 fans to the venue. The Aug. 10 show grossed nearly $300,000. The next day, reality star and medium Theresa Caputo brought more than 4,000 fans to the venue, with tickets priced $39.75-$99.75. Both shows were promoted by CAA. Next, the venue hosts Ke$ha Aug. 23.
