The Chicks Bring Taking The Long Way Back To The Stage in 2026!
Two decades after Taking The Long Way swept the Grammys with five wins including Album of the Year, The Chicks are celebrating the record with a special 20th Anniversary Tour. The 16-date theater run opens September 30, 2026 at the Fox Theatre in Detroit and travels through Chicago, Washington DC, New York, Nashville, San Antonio, Austin, Seattle, and San Francisco before wrapping November 1 and 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Each night the trio will perform the album front to back for the first time ever, then close with hits from across their catalog.
Fans can also catch Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer at a handful of shows this summer, including casino and festival stops out west. Whether you want to hear Not Ready To Make Nice echo through a historic theater or grab a warm-up show closer to home, check the listings below to find your seats.
Few groups in country music history have a story like The Chicks. Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer became the best-selling female band of all time on the strength of albums like Wide Open Spaces, Fly, and Home, stacking up signature songs such as Goodbye Earl, Cowboy Take Me Away, and Landslide. Taking The Long Way, released in 2006, marked their defiant return to the spotlight and swept all five of its Grammy categories, while the 2020 release Gaslighter proved the trio still had plenty to say.
