Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson have not been on the best of terms in recent years, but Heart announced they will be hitting many stages this summer.
The Hall of Fame act will be together for the first time since 2019 with the Royal Flush Tour stopping by Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on May 7.
Heart broke onto the music scene with their 1975 debut album Dreamboat Annie, which included the hit singles “Magic Man” and “Crazy on You.”
They went on to sell more than 35 million albums worldwide and to produce classic hits such as “Barracuda,” “Alone,” and “These Dreams.”
Other area dates they will hit on the tour are Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio, on May 15, Allstate Arena in Chicago on May 17, Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on May 21, and Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati on Aug. 13.
All those shows will see Cheap Trick as the opening act.
Heart will also appear in Cleveland on July 30 as part of a package tour that includes Def Leppard and Journey.
