The Chicks (Formerly The Dixie Chicks) have had a long and contentious career in country music but one thing’s for sure: their true fans will support them all the way to the arena. That is exactly what this anniversary tour is banking on, and honestly, they will probably deliver. Taking the Long Way still carries weight 20 years later, especially “Not Ready to Make Nice,” which has only grown more relevant with time. Smaller theater venues mean demand could spike quickly in major markets like New York, Nashville, Chicago, and Los Angeles. If you are even thinking about going, waiting around probably is not the move.
The Chicks are bringing one of the most important country albums of the 2000s back to the stage in full, and fans can expect a powerful mix of nostalgia, defiance, and musicianship night after night. Grab your tickets early and stay locked in with Country Music On Tour for updates, presales, and additional tour information.
