For the first time in a decade, the Dixie Chicks have announced a North American tour.
The country trio’s DCX MMXVI World Tour kicks off with a set of previously revealed European shows, but on June 1, 2016, Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Robison will begin the North American leg in Cincinnati, Ohio. They’ll be playing dates throughout the U.S. and Canada through October; a complete list of stops is below.
The band had been teasing a big announcement on their social media accounts leading up to the tour reveal, and back in July, Maines said on her own Twitter account that the Chicks “will tour the states again.”
Previously, the group had said that they weren’t sure if they’d be welcome to perform on American soil, given the response after Maines’ comments about then-President George W. Bush in 2003. In March of that year, as the U.S. was preparing to invade Iraq, Maines famously said, during a concert in London, “Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas.”
The backlash from the country music community was swift and unapologetic, with radio stations banning the Chicks’ music and several artists publicly speaking out against the threesome.
