Heart Embarking On First Tour In Five Years

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Heart will return to the road for the first time in five years this spring on the Royal Flush tour, which will begin April 20 in Greenville, S.C. Cheap Trick will support on most of the North American portion, while Squeeze will open a handful of the Wilson sisters-led group’s summer European dates.

Heart will also join Def Leppard and Journey for three previously announced summer stadium shows in Cleveland, Toronto and Boston and will make an appearance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on April 28.

The group has not toured widely since 2019, with Ann and Nancy Wilson instead working on solo projects and gigging with their respective side bands. The sisters have also navigated a series of rough patches in their relationship dating back several years, but they came back together in recent weeks for a New Year’s Eve show in their Seattle hometown and a performance as part of the National Hockey League Winter Classic.

In a nice stroke of synergy, the Heart classic “Barracuda” can currently be heard in a new, Viking-themed TV commercial for the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. The band’s current lineup features the Wilsons backed by guitarists Ryan Wariner and Ryan Waters, multi-instrumentalist Paul Moak, bassist Tony Lucido and drummer Sean T Lane.

“The exceptional talent of the band brings a whole new level of energy to Heart’s live performance,” Ann Wilson says. Adds Nancy Wilson, “I am incredibly proud of the show that our band has crafted and am looking forward to reconnecting with our fans.”

A ticket pre-sale for Citi cardholders begins tomorrow (Jan. 30 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time through Heart’s website.
