The Chicks Announce Taking the Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour

Published

on

Thirteen-time Grammy® Award winners The Chicks have announced their return to the road with the Taking the Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour in celebration of their record-breaking studio album Taking the Long Way. Kicking off at the Fox Theatre in Detroit on September 30, The Chicks will bring their powerhouse vocals and electrifying stage presence to intimate theatres across the U.S., honoring the enduring impact of the album that defined a generation, and celebrating the deep connection with their fans. The tour will make stops at major cities such as Chicago, New York City, Nashville, San Antonio, Austin, Seattle, and San Francisco, before wrapping with two nights in Hollywood, CA at Dolby Theatre on November 1 and 2.

Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale beginning on Wednesday, June 3 at 10 am local time. The general on sale begins on Thursday, June 4 at 10 am local time on Thechicks.com/tour.

To participate in The Chicks Artist Presale on Wednesday, June 3 at 10 am local time you must sign up at https://signup.livenation.com/thechicks by Sunday, May 31 at 11:59pm PT. No codes are needed – access is tied to your account, and anyone who signs up can join the sale.

The ‘Taking the Long Way Tour’ will serve as a triumphant victory lap to commemorate two decades of the critically acclaimed 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. Long regarded as the Chicks’ defiant masterpiece, Taking the Long Way, originally released in 2006, solidified the band’s legacy as courageous disruptors. Widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of its era, the project showcased The Chicks at their most fearless and vulnerable, and lead single “Not Ready to Make Nice” remains an anthem of artistic freedom and personal autonomy 20 years later. It is the album we needed then, and the album we need even more so now. Throughout this run, the iconic 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.

The Chicks—Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer— continue to connect with audiences across generations with their tight harmonies, masterful musicianship, and powerful live performances. After a nearly 14-year hiatus, The Chicks 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 and has been hailed as some of the band’s most uninhibited, modern, progressive, and original work to date, reaffirming their place as one of the most influential groups in music.

ADÉLA Announces First North American Headlining Run With ‘The Red Bottoms Tour’

Published

on

ADELA-2026-North-American-Tour-Debut-Headlining-Tour-The-Red-Bottoms-Tour

Rising pop artist ADÉLA is officially stepping into headliner territory. The singer announced her first-ever North American headlining trek, dubbed The Red Bottoms Tour, set to kick off later this year.

The tour arrives in support of her debut EP, The Provocateur, which was released in 2025 through Capitol Records. The project introduced listeners to ADÉLA’s dramatic, sleek pop sound, with songs pulling from her own experiences chasing success in the music industry. Across the EP, she explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and exploitation, wrapped in glossy production and larger-than-life storytelling.

The Red Bottoms Tour begins on September 9 in Detroit before making stops across North America, including Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Washington D.C., Brooklyn, Nashville, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. The run will wrap with two shows in Mexico City on October 15 and 16. A London date is slated for August ahead of the North American leg.

The announcement lands just one day after ADÉLA wrapped her supporting run on Demi Lovato’s It’s Not That Deep Tour. The Slovak-born singer has spent the last year steadily building momentum after first gaining attention through Dream Academy, the competition series that later launched the girl group KATSEYE.

Earlier this year, ADÉLA released the single KGB, which quickly picked up traction online. Fans attending Lovato’s tour were also treated to previews of unreleased material, adding more anticipation around what may come next from the 22-year-old artist.

Since releasing The Provocateur, ADÉLA has earned praise from outlets including Vogue, The FADER, Interview Magazine, and PAPER Magazine. Her early solo performances in London, New York, and Los Angeles quickly sold out, hinting at the growing audience behind her dark-pop aesthetic and sharp stage presence.

Artist presale tickets become available Wednesday, May 27 at 10 a.m. local time through ADÉLA’s official website. General ticket sales begin Friday, May 29 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster.

Sébastien Tellier Announces First North American Tour in Over a Decade

Published

on

Sebastien Tellier - Tour 2026

French electronic artist Sébastien Tellier is heading back to North America for his first run of U.S. and Canadian shows since 2014. The tour arrives after the release of his latest album, Kiss The Beast, and follows a string of sold-out performances across Europe, including major stops at Paris’ Olympia and London’s KOKO.

The newly announced dates kick off this fall and include headline shows in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, along with an appearance at CRSSD Festival in San Diego and several dates in Mexico. Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 28th at 10 a.m. local time.

A longtime staple of the French Touch movement, Tellier recently teamed up with David Guetta for the single “Thrill of the Night,” featuring Slayyyter and Nile Rodgers. The track has quickly climbed the UK club charts, giving Tellier another unexpected late-night anthem to add to his catalog.

Kiss The Beast sees Tellier pulling together a wide mix of collaborators, including Kid Cudi, producer SebastiAn, composer Victor Le Masne, and arranger Owen Pallett. The record leans heavily into lush pop arrangements, glossy electronic textures, and Tellier’s usual mix of sincerity and absurdity.

Since releasing Domesticated in 2020, Tellier has stayed busy with film soundtrack work, production credits for other artists, and a pair of EP releases. He also delivered a widely praised performance of “La Ritournelle” during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony in Paris.

Over the years, Tellier has built a cult following through songs like “Divine,” “Roche,” “Fantino,” and “L’amour et la violence,” blending disco, synth-pop, soft rock, and electronic music into a style that has always felt slightly strange in the best way possible. His signature look, long hair, dark sunglasses, and full-bearded mystique, has made him just as recognizable in fashion circles as in music.
