NASHVILLE, TN  [Monday Oct.31.2005]  /WMQT.com/ -- Kenny Chesney's Somewhere in the Sun tour-- featuring
Gretchen Wilson, Uncle Kracker and Pat Green has walked off with the Billboard RoadWork 2005 award for the TOP PACKAGE.

"When you think of doing anything bigger or more than Ozzy, you kinda don't know what to say," admits Chesney, who could not attend the ceremony due to finishing his upcoming ABC "Kenny Chesney: Somewhere in the Sun" special.

"I mean, Ozzy and all those guys he's got out there rock, and Eminem and 50 Cent flat tore it up this summer. It says a lot about our fans, though, the way they come out and party with us, starting at 2 O'clock most afternoons --
grilling out, blasting music, laughing and throwing Frisbees out in the parking lot. THAT makes it as much an event as who I bring out on the road with me.

U2 came away with the most honors at the October 26th Billboard Roadwork '05 Touring Awards, winning Top Tour for its Vertigo trek, Top Draw and Top Boxscore for its June 24-27 dates at Croke Park in Dublin.

The awards ceremony took place at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York.
