The Chicks will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their multiply Grammy-winning “Taking the Long Way” album with a 10-city, 16-date run through U.S. theaters this fall.
It marks the trio’s first trip out on the road in America since they did an arena tour in 2023.
The tour has a subtitle: “Still Not Ready to Make Nice,” a nod to the anthem that fired up fans and defenders in 2006, three years after the group — then the Dixie Chicks — was embroiled in an explosive controversy that had conservatives attacking the women for their comments on President Bush and the Iraq War.
“Not Ready to Make Nice” won the Grammy for both record of the year and song of the year, while “Taking the Long Way” picked up album of the year — a rare trifecta in the Grammys’ top three categories.
The anniversary tour begins with a single show in Detroit at the Fox Theatre Sept. 30, and wraps up just over a month later with two shows at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre. (The latter venue is where they filmed their “An Evening with the Dixie Chicks” DVD in 2002, promoting their “Home” album, in the calm before the storm to come.)
