The Chicks Are Heading Back Out On Tour!
The wait between Chicks tours never seems short, but for fans who have been holding out since the 2022 World Tour, the news is finally here: Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer are back on the road with the brand-new Taking The Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour, plus a full slate of stadium nights, casino theater dates, and festival appearances rolling out across the 2026 calendar. After roughly two decades since their five-time Grammy-winning album hit shelves, the trio is hitting reset on the live show -- and the schedule is one of the most varied they have put together in years.
The anniversary tour itself was announced in May 2026 and covers sixteen theater nights across ten cities. The opening show is set for September 30 at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, with the run wrapping November 1 and 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Theaters in Chicago, Washington DC, New York, Nashville, San Antonio, Austin, Seattle, and San Francisco fill in the rest of the calendar, with multiple cities getting two-night stands. Outlets like Billboard have already pegged the run as one of the year's most anticipated country comebacks, and fan trackers at setlist.fm have started cataloging early predictions for what the album-anniversary setlist will look like.
Outside the anniversary theaters, 2026 also includes a stadium leg co-headlining with Tim McGraw alongside Lady A and 49 Winchester. Confirmed rooms on that bill include Fenway Park in Boston, Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania, and Target Field in Minneapolis. California fans get intimate casino theater shows at Yaamava Resort & Casino and Thunder Valley Casino Resort, and Montana fans get the Zootown Festival weekend at the Missoula County Fairgrounds with The Lumineers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Trampled By Turtles, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise on the bill. Variety has covered the band's post-comeback chapter in detail.

Inside The Chicks 2026 Comeback Year
For longtime fans, the 2026 schedule reads like a wish list. The Chicks have not built a calendar this varied since the early 2000s -- intimate theater shows, sweaty festival sets, two-thousand-seat casino rooms, and full-on outdoor stadium dates. Each leg of the year offers a different version of the band. The Taking The Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour is the centerpiece, but the four legs together add up to the most active touring stretch the trio has put together in nearly two decades. Every show is a chance to catch the lineup that recorded Wide Open Spaces, Home, and Taking The Long Way back in front of a live audience.
The anniversary tour is built around the 2006 album that swept the Grammys and reframed the band's public identity. Sixteen nights, ten cities -- opening at the Fox Theatre in Detroit on September 30 and closing November 1 and 2 in Hollywood at the Dolby Theatre. Theaters in between include the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, The Anthem in Washington DC, the Beacon Theatre in New York, The Truth in Nashville, the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio, Bass Concert Hall in Austin, Benaroya Hall in Seattle, and The Masonic in San Francisco. Multiple cities are getting two-night stands so fans can attend back-to-back shows in the same room. The setlist is reportedly built to lean into Taking The Long Way deep cuts -- Easy Silence, Lullaby, Lubbock or Leave It, So Hard, Bitter End -- alongside the obvious anchors like The Long Way Around and Not Ready to Make Nice.
The stadium leg with Tim McGraw, Lady A, and 49 Winchester is a different animal entirely. These shows are high-energy outdoor nights at rooms like Fenway Park, Hersheypark Stadium, and Target Field. The Chicks and Tim McGraw share a lot of catalog history -- both broke through nationally in the late 90s, both released defining country albums in the early 2000s, and both took multi-year stretches away from the road before reconnecting with audiences in the late 2010s and 2020s. The 2026 co-headlining run is the first time they have taken on a stadium leg together at this scale.
Festival weekends fill in the gaps. The Zootown Festival at the Missoula County Fairgrounds in Montana is the biggest one, with multi-day pass options and a lineup that pairs The Chicks with The Lumineers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Trampled By Turtles, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and Michael Marcagi. Casino theater shows at Yaamava Resort & Casino and Thunder Valley Casino Resort give California fans clean shots at an intimate set without ever needing to deal with stadium logistics. Festival dates and casino theaters tend to sell out faster than the larger rooms, so they are worth checking on early.
The Chicks first formed in Dallas in 1989 and broke through nationally with 1998's Wide Open Spaces. They have moved more than 33 million albums worldwide, won multiple Grammys including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year for Taking The Long Way, and helped redefine what a country trio could look and sound like. After stepping away from the road for most of the late 2000s, they came back in 2016 with the DCX MMXVI World Tour, released Gaslighter and officially changed their name to The Chicks in 2020, and toured again in 2022. The 2026 calendar is the next chapter.
