Legendary rock band Heart, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, is gearing up for an epic Royal Flush tour alongside special guests Cheap Trick. The extensive 52-city tour is
scheduled to commence in Greenville, South Carolina, on April 20, promising fans a musical journey across major North American cities, including stops in San Antonio, Atlanta, Boston, and Toronto. The tour is slated to conclude on September 22 in Morrison, Colorado.
Heart shared their excitement on Instagram, announcing the Royal Flush Tour 2024, with Cheap Trick joining them on select North American dates and Squeeze in the UK. The band expressed their anticipation, stating, "Can't wait 💜."
As part of the tour, Heart will also serve as a supporting act for fellow rock legends Def Leppard and Journey on specific dates. Citi presales are set to begin at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, followed by an artist presale (using the code DREAMS) starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Public ticket sales will open at 10 a.m. on Friday through heart-music.com.
With a musical journey spanning five decades since their formation in Seattle, Heart plans to treat audiences to a repertoire of classics, including their 20 Top 40 singles. Known for powerful rock anthems like "Magic Man," "Barracuda," and "Crazy on You," as well as softer melodies like "These Dreams," Heart's current lineup features Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson, Ryan Wariner, Ryan Waters, Paul Moak, Tony Lucido, and Sean T. Lane.
Cheap Trick, formed in Rockford, Illinois, in 1973, shares a similar legacy, gaining Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2016. The four-man band, led by Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen, Tom Petersson, and Daxx Nielsen, has sold 20 million albums worldwide and is renowned for hits like "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender," "Ain't That a Shame," and "The Flame." Daxx Nielsen, the guitarist's son, has been the touring drummer since 2010, adding a familial touch to Cheap Trick's dynamic lineup. Photo by Wikimedia commons.
