The ‘Taking the Long Way Tour’ will commemorate two decades of the critically acclaimed 2006 album that topped the Billboard 200 chart and earned The Chicks five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. Throughout the run, the trio will perform the groundbreaking album in its entirety for the first time before closing each night with fan-favorite hits spanning their award-winning catalog.
After a nearly 14-year hiatus, The Chicks—Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer—released their fifth studio album Gaslighter in July 2020 via Columbia Records. The 12-track record was co-produced by award-winning singer-songwriter and producer Jack Antonoff.
