The Brothers of the Sun Tour was a co-headlining concert tour by American country music singers Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. It took place in 22 cities at 22 venues across the United States. Chesney and McGraw began the tour at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on June 2, 2012, and ended it with two shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts on August 25, 2012. The tour grossed over $96 million in ticket sales and drew at least one million in attendance.

The duo had previously toured together as part of the George Strait Country Music Fest in 2001. Following the announcement, it was revealed the tour would feature special guests Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and Jake Owen.
