The Chicks have announced a tour of New Zealand this October, with special guest Elle King in support, for their first dates in New Zealand since 2017.
Playing Spark Arena on October 28 and Christchurch Arena on October 30, the best-selling country artists will perform from their first studio album in 14 years, 2020’s Gaslighter.
Michael Chugg, Executive Chairman Chugg Entertainment said, “Ever since I heard a demo in the late 90’s and did their first tour in November 1999, The Chicks have been a huge part of my life.
“Watching them become live icons of music has been an amazing journey, and their upcoming tour will go up another level again.”
