The Chicks are officially heading back out on the road. Fans will have the chance to catch the iconic country music trio as they embark on the Taking the Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour, celebrating two decades of their record-breaking studio album of the same name.
Their 26-date trek will launch September 30 at the Fox Theatre in Detroit and continue with shows in major markets across the U.S., including Chicago, New York City, Nashville, San Antonio, Austin, Seattle, and San Francisco, before wrapping with two nights in Hollywood, CA at Dolby Theatre on November 1 and 2.
This anniversary tour gives the thirteen-time Grammy® Award winners,Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer, the chance to connect with fans on a deeper level inside the intimate theaters. With their powerhouse vocals and epic stage presence in two, the trio will join fans in properly honoring the album that has made a lasting impact on a generation.
After Taking the Long Way was released in May of 2006, it went on to top the Billboard 200 chart and earns The Chicks five Grammy® Awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. The songs on this project made such an impression at the time that to this day it is still regarded as one of the most influential albums of its era.
It proudly displays the fearlessness and vulnerability of the group. The lead single “Not Ready to Make Nice” particularly has stood the test of time as an anthem of artistic freedom.
Throughout the upcoming run, The Chicks will perform the entirety of the critically-acclaimed album for the first time. Each night, they will close the show with a mix of fan-favorite hits that live within their award-winning catalog.

The Chicks latest album dropped in 2020 following a 14-year hiatus. Their fifth studio album Gaslighter arrived via Columbia Records and featured 12-tracks all co-produced by award-winning singer-songwriter and producer Jack Antonoff. While that project marked a bold return for the group, this upcoming tour allows The Chicks to once again spotlight the album that forever changed the trajectory of their career and left a lasting mark on country music.
