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.

Ann Wilson’s Health Battle: “Chemo Is No Joke”

The Royal Flush tour originally kicked off in 2024 but was forced to delay several dates due to Ann Wilson’s cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment. The iconic vocalist later opened up about the experience, saying, “Chemo is no joke. It takes a lot out of a person.”

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.

In a performance people will be talking about for years, Vince tears into the guitar with a level of skill that doesn’t even feel human. Keith Urban and Chris Stapleton are amazing players, no doubt—but Vince steps into a whole different universe. Every phrase he plays is clean, thoughtful, and packed with emotion.

His solo isn’t just good—it’s the kind of musical magic that leaves the crowd staring, shaking their heads, wondering how one man can play like that.
