Legendary rock band Heart is showing no signs of slowing down. The band has announced an extension of their Royal Flush tour, adding a new run of U.S. dates set for early 2026. The tour, which originally launched in 2024, had been temporarily paused as frontwoman Ann Wilson underwent cancer treatment.

The newly scheduled shows will begin on February 15 in Duluth, Georgia, and wrap up on March 15 in Fishers, Indiana. Singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams will join as a special guest for select performances.

Tickets for the new dates go on sale to the general public this Friday, with the complete tour itinerary covering late 2025 through early 2026.

Despite the physical toll, Wilson has remained determined to return to the stage. Her resilience and commitment to performing have been praised by fans and peers alike, making the 2026 tour dates all the more meaningful.
