Ann and Nancy Wilson will lead Heart on the band's 2024 tour

After rocking Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on New Year's Eve and T-Mobile Park for the NHL Winter Classics on New Year's Day, Heart announced Monday that the band will kick off its eagerly anticipated 2024 tour April 20 at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

One of the first female-fronted hard rock bands, Heart also is set to perform this year at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado, plus the band is joining forces with fellow rockers Def Leppard and Journey for three epic stadium dates in Cleveland, Toronto and Boston this summer.

With a career spanning nearly five decades, the 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have earned global recognition, selling more than 35 million albums worldwide and charting 20 Top 40 singles. Heart will perform its chart-topping classic hits including “Magic Man," “Barracuda," “Crazy on You” and “These Dreams."

The current members of Heart are Nancy Wilson (rhythm, lead and acoustic guitar, backing and lead vocals), Ann Wilson (lead vocals and flute), Ryan Wariner (lead and rhythm guitar), Ryan Waters (guitars), Paul Moak (guitars, keyboards and backing vocals), Tony Lucido (bass and backing vocals) and Sean T Lane (drums and bike).

Heart released its last album of new material, "Beautiful Broken," in 2016, but soon after, a rift between the Wilson sisters forced the legendary band to take a break. They reconciled to tour together for the first time in three years on 2019's "Love Alive" cross-country trek.

Nancy Wilson recently told the Seattle Times that she and her sister have been working on new music together with plans to release it in 2024.

Last year, sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for their groundbreaking musical efforts with Heart.

Formed in 1974, Cheap Trick has sold 20 million albums worldwide, including hits “I Want You to Want Me," “The Flame," “Dream Police” and “Surrender." The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.
