Heart reschedules tour following Ann Wilson's cancer treatment. 'The best is yet to come!'
Two months after postponing their 2024 tour dates due to Ann Wilson's cancer treatment, Heart has announced a rescheduled slate of shows for 2025.
In July, Wilson said in a statement that cancer was discovered during "an operation to remove something" and that doctors advised her to undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy and take the rest of the year off from performing.
The group, which Wilson co-fronts with guitarist sister Nancy, will reignite their 19-date Royal Flush tour Feb. 28 at the Fountainbleu in Las Vegas and play until April 5 in Québec. Other cities include Los Angeles, Phoenix, Milwaukee and Buffalo, New York. Additional dates are expected to be announced.

Tickets are on sale now at heart-music.com and ticketmaster.com. Previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates.
"The best is yet to come!" Ann Wilson said in announcing the new shows, while Nancy added, "We are so so excited to resume this tour. We were just starting to fire on all cylinders and the vibe was entirely MAJOR. To be continued…"
The Wilson sisters will be joined by Ryan Wariner (guitar), Ryan Waters (guitar), Paul Moak (guitars, keyboards), Tony Lucido (bass) and Sean T. Lane (drums) as they roll through their heady rock catalog of five decades, including enduring hits "Barracuda," "These Dreams," "Magic Man" and "Crazy on You."
In addition to their scuttled headlining dates, Heart had also been tapped as part of the summer stadium tour with Def Leppard and Journey; Cheap Trick and Steve Miller Band replaced them in varying cities.
