The Chicks ‘Taking the Long Way’ 20th Anniversary Tour Dates, Presales, and How to Find Cheap Tickets

Twenty years after one of the most defiant and celebrated albums in country music history, The Chicks are finally taking it back on the road. Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer announce the Taking the Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour, a 16-date run of intimate theater shows across the U.S. this fall.

Released in May 2006, after the trio faced enormous industry backlash following Maines’ criticism of President George W. Bush, Taking the Long Way was The Chicks’ answer to everyone who tried to silence them. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and swept the 2007 Grammy Awards, earning five trophies including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year for “Not Ready to Make Nice.”

It remains one of the most powerful statements in modern music.“It is the album we needed then, and the album we need even more so now.” This outing is a bucket-list concert moment for some fans, and the intimate theater venues mean tickets will go fast.

TickPick is the only major ticket marketplace that charges zero buyer fees. That means the price you see on the listing is the price you pay. Here’s how to find the best deal on The Chicks 2026 tickets:

2. Compare all-in prices. TickPick shows you the true all-in price upfront. Compare this to other sites by adding their fees and you’ll consistently find TickPick comes out cheaper.
3. Use the BestPrice feature. TickPick ranks listings by best value per seat, taking location and price into account. It’s the fastest way to find the sweet spot.

5. Check back closer to the show. Prices on resale tickets often drop in the 24–72 hours before a concert as sellers lower prices to move inventory. Last-minute Chicks tickets can be a steal if you’re flexible.

TickPick Tip: Several cities (Chicago, New York, San Antonio, Seattle, San Francisco, and Hollywood) have two-night stands. If your first-choice date sells out, check the second night. And with TickPick’s no-fee pricing, you’ll often find the second night at a lower price as the date approaches.

Opening Acts for The Chicks 2026 Tour

As of the official announcement on May 27, 2026, no opening acts have been announced for the Taking the Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour.

That said, The Chicks’ 2023 tour featured Maren Morris on a string of dates, so a special guest or support act wouldn’t be out of the question for certain markets. We’ll update this page the moment any support acts are confirmed.

Setlist Predictions for the Taking the Long Way Tour

The Chicks are celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their Grammy award-winning album, Taking the Long Way. We expect The Chicks to anchor their 2026 performances with this record. After the album set, they’ll close out each night with fan-favorite hits from their full catalog. Here’s what we expect:

From Taking the Long Way:

1. The Long Way Around
2. Not Ready to Make Nice
3. Everybody Knows
4. Lubbock or Leave It
5. Loan Me a Dime
6. Bitter End
7. I Like It
8. Baby Hold On
9. Lullaby

Predicted Catalog Encore

1. Wide Open Spaces
2. Cowboy Take Me Away
3. Gaslighter
4. Goodbye Earl
5. Ready to Run
6. Long Time Gone
7. Truth No. 2
8. Traveling Soldier
9. Sin Wagon
10. Landslide

“Not Ready to Make Nice” will almost certainly be the emotional high point of the full-album set. We can’t wait for the energy Natalie Maines is sure to bring to this rally call. And if “Wide Open Spaces” is in the encore, expect an arena-sized singalong in a 3,000-seat theater.

Note: Setlists are predicted based on the album’s track listing plus known fan favorites. Actual setlists are subject to change at the artist’s discretion.
