Chris Willman Music WriterThe Chicks will finally get to take their new and improved moniker on the road this summer, as the trio finally will have the opportunity to tour behind their 2020 “Gaslighter” album, as they’d planned to that year before the pandemic intervened. Patty Griffin and Jenny Lewis have been announced as opening acts for different legs of the outing.The two-month, 27-city tour will begin June 14 in St. Louis and wrap up Aug.
13 with a show at the legendary Gorge in Washington state. The’ll make a visit to the equally scenic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado Aug. 2, with east coast dates including back-to-back visits to New Jersey July 6 and 8, at the P.N.C.
Bank Arts Center and Waterfront Music Pavilion. The only two-night stand on the tour is at L.A.’s Greek Theatre on July 25-26. (Unfortunately, by not appearing at the Hollywood Bowl, this will deprive fans of a meta moment if the group chooses to perform the “Gaslighter” song “Sleep at Night,” which seemed to reference singer Natalie Maines’ domestic history with the immortal lyrical anecdote, “Remember you brought her to our show at the Hollywood Bowl ‘ She said, ‘I love you, I’m such a fan’ / I joked that you can love me as long as you don’t love my man / There’s nothin’ funny about that.”)Tickets go on sale for all dates Friday at 10 a.m.
local time via Ticketmaster.Griffin will open the shows on June 14 through July 16, and she rejoins the last tour for its final swing Aug. 5-13. It will be a reunion of sorts, as the Chicks covered several Griffin songs on their first three albums, including “Top of the World,” which a previous tour was named after.
