The Chicks 2026 Schedule at a Glance
2026 is shaping up to be the busiest year on the road that The Chicks have had in nearly two decades. From summer fairground sets and casino theater shows in the spring to a marquee co-headlining stadium run with Tim McGraw, and finally a sixteen-night theater tour celebrating twenty years of Taking The Long Way, Natalie Maines and the Erwin sisters have stacked the calendar with every kind of show their fans have been asking for. The schedule below has every confirmed date, but the short version is simple: pick your month, pick your room, and grab a ticket.
The first half of the year leans into intimate rooms and festival weekends. The Chicks are playing casino theater nights at Yaamava Resort & Casino in Southern California and Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Northern California -- the kind of close-quarters venues where every harmony lands without needing the big-room boom. Festival fans get the Zootown Festival weekend at the Missoula County Fairgrounds in Montana, where the trio is headlining a bill that also includes The Lumineers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Trampled By Turtles, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and Michael Marcagi. Tour trackers like setlist.fm are already logging early setlist speculation for these dates.
Summer brings the stadium leg co-headlining with Tim McGraw, Lady A, and 49 Winchester. These shows are taking over some of the most iconic outdoor rooms in the country -- Fenway Park in Boston, Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania, and Target Field in Minneapolis, with more on the schedule below. Then comes the fall: the brand-new Taking The Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour, a sixteen-show theater run that opens September 30 at the Fox Theatre in Detroit and wraps with a two-night Hollywood stand on November 1 and 2. Billboard has called the anniversary run one of the country comebacks to watch this year.

Inside The Chicks 2026 Tour Calendar
The 2026 schedule splits cleanly into four different runs, and each one offers a very different version of the same band. Casino theater shows put The Chicks in intimate two-thousand-seat rooms with full sightlines and no bad seat. Festival dates put them in front of mixed crowds where their crossover appeal -- country, folk, bluegrass, Americana, indie -- gets full room to breathe. Stadium nights with Tim McGraw turn the trio into one of the biggest co-headlining country bills in years. And the Taking The Long Way Anniversary tour gives die-hard fans a focused, catalog-deep theater experience built around the album that changed the band's trajectory in 2006.
The Taking The Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour is the centerpiece. Sixteen nights, ten cities, opening night at the Fox Theatre in Detroit on September 30 and closing on November 2 in Hollywood at the Dolby Theatre. In between, the trio is taking over the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago for two nights, The Anthem in Washington DC, the Beacon Theatre in New York for two nights, The Truth in Nashville, the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio for two nights, Bass Concert Hall in Austin, Benaroya Hall in Seattle for two nights, and The Masonic in San Francisco for two nights. Each room is sized to make the album-cycle setlist feel like a conversation -- close enough to see the fiddle bowing and hear the harmonies as they were tracked.
The stadium leg with Tim McGraw is a different animal entirely. These are high-energy outdoor nights at rooms like Fenway Park, Hersheypark Stadium, and Target Field, with Lady A and 49 Winchester rounding out the bill. Expect tighter sets from each headliner, a back-and-forth flow that keeps the energy high, and the kind of singalong moments that come naturally when two of country's biggest acts share a stage. For fans who never got to see the Chicks on their 2019 or 2022 tours, this is the most accessible way to catch them in 2026 -- stadium tickets cover the widest range of price points.
Festival weekends fill in the gaps. The Zootown Festival at the Missoula County Fairgrounds is the biggest one on the calendar, with multi-day pass options and a lineup that pairs The Chicks with The Lumineers, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Trampled By Turtles, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and Michael Marcagi. There are also one-off festival dates on the broader schedule above. Casino theater shows -- including Yaamava Resort & Casino in California and Thunder Valley Casino Resort -- give California fans two clean shots at an intimate set without ever having to deal with stadium logistics.
The Chicks first formed in Dallas in 1989 and broke through nationally a decade later with Wide Open Spaces, Fly, and Home. After a turbulent mid-2000s stretch that resulted in the Grammy-sweeping Taking The Long Way, the band stepped back from the road for most of the next decade. Their return started in 2016 with the DCX MMXVI World Tour, continued with the 2020 release of Gaslighter and the name change to The Chicks, and ramped back up with the 2022 World Tour. Variety covered the band's post-comeback chapter in detail; the 2026 calendar is the next step in that arc.
Whichever night you choose, the listings above show every confirmed date with current pricing. Tickets through BigStub come with a full buyer guarantee and the support of a customer service team that has been doing this for more than twenty years.
