- The Chicks announce a 10‑city, 16‑date theater tour to mark the 20th anniversary of their Grammy‑winning album “Taking the Long Way,” running from Sep 30 to early Nov 2026.
- The tour is billed with the subtitle “Still Not Ready to Make Nice,” referencing their 2006 anthem that won Record and Song of the Year.
- Ticket sales begin with an artist presale on June 3 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by a general on‑sale on June 4 at 10 a.m., with presale registration via Live Nation.
- The Chicks will also open four stadium shows for Tim McGraw in July/August and have additional summer dates in Atlantic City, Highland (CA), Lincoln (CA), Missoula (MT), and Springfield (IL).
- The tour starts at Detroit’s Fox Theatre and concludes at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre, the site of their 2002 DVD recording.
Why it matters: The Chicks and their fans win a rare live reunion, while 10 U.S. theaters and ticket vendors capture a surge in sales; the tour also re‑energizes the country‑pop touring circuit after a quiet year.
