In addition, temperature control is needed to keep all of the video equipment cool and working. Some of the venues on this multi-city tour, such as outdoor football stadiums, do not have the infrastructure to support an event of this magnitude. Chesney's concert producers trust Aggreko to provide the critical utilities and technical support they need.

"An average of 50,000 fans see Kenny's fantastic show in each of the venues we power, so it is imperative that everything run smoothly," said George Long, Senior Project Manager, Aggreko Event Services. "Aggreko supplies power, heating and cooling systems cooling systems
