The Chicks will make their anticipated return to Australia for the first time since 2017, when they played sold out Sydney and Melbourne shows. With their just-announced second Brisbane performance, The Chicks will now tally a mammoth eleven nights across Australia and New Zealand on the antipodean leg of their World Tour this October – including sold out Melbourne, Brisbane and Christchurch shows.
Following a month-long residency at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood in May, the global superstars are in superb form. “The Chicks were energized and engaged… Vocally, Maines was flawless”, wrote the Las Vegas Review Journal of the band’s opening night show.
The trio received rave reviews from their just-wrapped European and UK tour, which included an anticipated finale at London’s Hyde Park last week alongside Bruce Springsteen and James Bay. The Guardian celebrated The Chicks’ “barn-burning virtuosity and cut-glass vocals” and “grit, humour and outlandish musicianship” in their 4-star review. The band continues through North America in August and September before landing down under in October.
Earning universal recognition as the biggest-selling U.S. female band of all time, The Chicks have sold more than 30.5 million albums and are among an elite group of artists and the only female group to achieve multiple Diamond selling releases; reaching the stratospheric landmark of over 10 million copies sold, with both ‘Wide Open Spaces’ (1998) and ‘Fly’ (1999).
Counting thirteen GRAMMY Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, four American Music Awards, and numerous Country Music Association Awards among many other accolades, The Chicks’ record-breaking 2006 studio album, Taking The Long Way picked up five GRAMMY Awards including Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
With the release of their first studio album in fourteen years, 2020’s Gaslighter, The Chicks delivered their most anticipated yet, impressing critics globally. Co-produced by Jack Antonoff, the record was celebrated as “… a pop-country killer” by Vulture with Pitchfork calling it “a genuinely compelling new take on the punchy country sound that’s always made them stand out”.
With special guest Elle King joining The Chicks on all dates, these shows will be an exhilarating live experience for all music lovers. The four-time Grammy nominee has achieved multiple US Platinum singles, with her global hit ‘Ex’s & Oh’s’ chalking up 2x Platinum in Australia. Her latest album Come Get Your Wife was released to rave reviews earlier this year, Variety calling it a “masterstroke of music-making”.
Superstars, renegades, innovators, heroes and villains – for over two decades, The Chicks have developed from a band into a phenomenon, and they will make their triumphant return to Australia for the first time in six years this October. Don’t miss it!
