The Chicks Tour: What Fans Need to Know

The Chicks have lived more lives than most bands ever get to. From breaking out of Texas in the mid-1990s and rewriting the rules of mainstream country, to weathering a public storm that became its own cultural moment, to returning two decades later with the kind of creative authority that only comes with experience, this group has been there. The latest run is the latest chapter in a story that just keeps getting bigger, and it is a tour worth catching. Browse the listings above to find the show closest to you and lock in your seats while the schedule is wide open.

The lineup is the same one fans have known for years. Natalie Maines on lead vocals, Martie Maguire on fiddle and mandolin, and Emily Strayer on banjo and dobro have always been the kind of musicians who play their instruments instead of standing in front of them. That is part of what makes a Chicks show different. The arrangements are full of moving parts: shifting harmonies between Natalie and the Erwin sisters, intricate string passages from Martie, and Emily banjo runs threading through the country-rock fire of the band. The chemistry is the reason "Wide Open Spaces" still sounds enormous and "Long Time Gone" still feels fresh.

The newest era really opened up with 2020 Gaslighter, produced by Jack Antonoff, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album and put the band back at the center of the conversation. The album leaned into both confessional storytelling and bold political moments, and it set the table for the live show that fans are getting now. Pieces like "Gaslighter" and "March March" have become signature setlist additions, and the long-loved classics are right there next to them. It is not a nostalgia tour. It is a working band in full swing.

The current leg features marquee stops worth circling on the calendar. The Tim McGraw co-headline stadium dates pull in Hersheypark Stadium, Fenway Park, and Target Field for nights with Lady A and 49 Winchester on the bill. Headline runs include Yaamava Theater at Yaamava Resort and Casino in Highland California, The Venue at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena in Atlantic City, Fox Theatre in Detroit, Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, The Anthem in Washington DC, Beacon Theatre in New York, Majestic Theatre in San Antonio, Bass Concert Hall in Austin, The Masonic in San Francisco, Benaroya Hall in Seattle, and Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The summer also includes the Zootown Festival in Missoula and the Boots and Hearts Music Festival up in Ontario. Every one of those venues has its own character, but each one will get the full Chicks treatment.

What separates this group from most touring acts is the catalog. The setlist arc moves from the early-career barnburners ("Sin Wagon," "Ready to Run") to the heart-on-sleeve hits ("Landslide," "Cowboy Take Me Away") to the politically charged moments ("Not Ready to Make Nice") and the new material from the Gaslighter era. Recent setlists logged on setlist.fm give a great preview of what to expect, and the band has been known to drop a surprise cover or two on top of it. Bring your voice. You will use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the members of The Chicks?

The Chicks are a country and roots-music trio made up of lead vocalist Natalie Maines and sisters Martie Maguire (fiddle, mandolin, vocals) and Emily Strayer (banjo, dobro, guitar, vocals). The Erwin sisters founded the group in Dallas, Texas in 1989, and Natalie joined in 1995. They have been making music together for nearly three decades.

Has the band always been called The Chicks?

No. The group was originally called the Dixie Chicks. In June 2020 they shortened the name to The Chicks, a decision they announced publicly while stepping away from a term tied to a difficult chapter of American history. The music, the lineup, and the live show stayed the same. Only the name changed.

What kind of music do The Chicks play?

The Chicks blend traditional country with bluegrass, folk, and country-rock. The fiddle and banjo work give the live show a rootsy edge, while Natalie vocals can stretch from intimate ballads to full-tilt rock-and-roll belters. Setlists draw from across their entire discography, from Wide Open Spaces through the Gaslighter era.

What is The Chicks biggest hit?

They have several. Goodbye Earl, Wide Open Spaces, Cowboy Take Me Away, Travelin Soldier, Landslide, and Not Ready to Make Nice are all consistent crowd favorites. The band has charted multiple number-one singles and sold over 33 million albums across their career, making them one of the best-selling all-female bands in U.S. history.

Plan to be at the venue for at least three to four hours for the stadium dates.

Do The Chicks play Goodbye Earl live?

Yes. Goodbye Earl has been a staple of The Chicks live show since it was released, and recent setlists logged on setlist.fm confirm it remains in the rotation. The crowd singalong on that track is one of the loudest moments of any night.

Is a Chicks show family-friendly?

The audience tends to be all-ages, and many of the songs are family-friendly. That said, the band is unafraid to discuss adult themes in songs like Goodbye Earl and Gaslighter, and a few setlist favorites contain language and political content that parents should consider. Use your judgment for younger fans.

What awards have The Chicks won?

The Chicks have won 13 Grammy Awards across their career, including Album of the Year, Best Country Album, Song of the Year, and Best Country Performance categories. They have also won multiple ACM Awards and CMA Awards, and they remain one of the most decorated acts in country music history.
