The Chicks will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their multiply Grammy-winning “Taking the Long Way” album with a 10-city, 16-date run through U.S. theaters this fall.

It marks the trio’s first trip out on the road in America since they did an arena tour in 2023.

The tour has a subtitle: “Still Not Ready to Make Nice,” a nod to the anthem that fired up fans and defenders in 2006, three years after the group — then the Dixie Chicks — was embroiled in an explosive controversy that had conservatives attacking the women for their comments on President Bush and the Iraq War.
