The stage is set for a rock revival as the legendary band Heart announces its 2024 "Royal Flush" tour with power pop icons Cheap Trick in tow, ready to rock the North American tour circuit. Fans in San Antonio, hold onto your hats because the Wilson sisters and their band are scheduled to visit the Frost Bank Center on May 1, rejuvenating the city with their classic rock anthems after a five-year hiatus, as reported by FOX San Antonio.
In a statement obtained by Ultimate Classic Rock, the tour is billed as Heart's first extended trek since 2019, with kick-off on April 20 in Greenville, South Carolina and the final show on September 22 at Morrison, Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The tour, which also features a European leg, promises to bring fans a wide range of Heart's nearly 50-year catalogue of hits. Heart, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, has an impressive record of over 35 million albums sold, and 20 Top 40 singles including tracks like "Barracuda" and "Magic Man."
Despite past family drama and a well-publicized altercation involving Ann's husband and Nancy's children back in 2016, the sisters are back in harmony. "It's a myth," Ann Wilson stated in an interview, refuting any ongoing tension. "Nancy and I are OK with each other." The sisters did reveal, however, that they possess different visions for the band’s future, but assured fans that their relationship remains intact and that they are working towards a compromise.
Ann and Nancy are not just returning to their roots with the tour, but they're also brewing new material hearkening back to their '70s glory days. "So it's really fun, it's just exciting and inspiring,” Nancy told Ultimate Classic Rock. Tickets for the Royal Flush tour are up for grabs on Heart's official website, prompting fans to mark their calendars for an exhilarating rock experience. Moreover, Heart will play a selection of stadium dates this summer, joining forces with the likes of Def Leppard and Journey, setting the stage for a season teeming with classic rock fervor.
The confluence of Heart's classic sound with Cheap Trick's power pop magic and the inclusion of Squeeze on select dates ensures a nostalgic journey for rock enthusiasts. With the Wilson sisters at the helm, the stage is set for a tour that seeks to celebrate the enduring spirit of classic rock and roll, reconnecting with fans and creating new moments of live-music elation.
