The Long Way Ends on Hollywood Boulevard, The Chicks Close Their 20th Anniversary Tour at the Dolby Theatre
The trio will play Taking the Long Way in full, then the hits, over three nights at the Dolby Theatre starting Sunday, November 1.
The Chicks have been taking the long way across the country since September 30. It ends on Hollywood Boulevard. The trio of Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer brings its Taking the Long Way 20th anniversary tour to the Dolby Theatre for three nights, starting Sunday, November 1.
The Live Nation announcement describes a run through intimate theatres, opening at the Fox Theatre in Detroit and passing through Chicago, Washington, New York, Nashville, San Antonio, Austin, Seattle and San Francisco. The band will perform the 2006 album in its entirety for the first time, then close each night with fan favorites from across its catalog. The announcement says of the record, “It is the album we needed then, and the album we need even more so now.”
