Heart’s 2019 Tour Will Hit Charlotte: Dates Tickets

CHARLOTTE, NC — This one’s for all the parents out there: The legendary rock band Heart is coming to Charlotte and tickets can be bought for as little as $45. Nancy and Ann Wilson are reuniting for a summer tour, which kicks off on July 9 in St. Louis and ends Sept. 9 in Hollywood, California.

The band announced dates for its 2019 summer tour, “Love Alive,” on Monday. The trek includes stops in major cities including Chicago, Hartford, Cincinnati, Syracuse, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Nashville, Raleigh, Charlotte, Tampa, Atlanta, Birmingham, Houston, Dallas, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver and Las Vegas.

In Charlotte, the band will perform Aug. 14 at PNC Music Pavilion. Click here to find tickets and enter the promo code “PatchTickets10” at checkout to get 10 percent off.

Some familiar faces will join Heart on parts of the tour. Special guests include Sheryl Crow — you may have heard of her — Elle King and fellow legendary rockers Joan Jett And The Blackhearts. Brandi Carlile and Lucie Silvas will also make appearances.

The announcement follows what the band called a “temporary hiatus.” In 2016, Ann’s husband was arrested in Washington and accused of attacking Nancy’s teen boys.

“I could see it was time for Heart to have a break,” guitarist Nancy Wilson told Rolling Stone in a statement. “We’d been slogging through tour after tour fairly nonstop and were starting to burn out a little bit. Things had just reached a heavy climax. Working with my other new band Roadcase Royale was a lifesaver. Writing brand new songs playing shows and delivering a new album with them was the medicine my soul needed.”

Lead singer Ann Wilson told the pop culture magazine the sisters have stretched their wings since then, living, traveling and breathing.

“We come to this tour with fresh energy and oxygen,” she said.

Heart has standards including “Alone,” “Barracuda,” “These Dreams,” “What About Love,” and “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You.” The rockers were nominated for Grammy awards four times between 1985 and 1990.

Heart rose to fame in the mid-1970s. Their music was influenced by hard rock, heavy metal and even folk music. The band’s popularity fell in the early 1980s before rocketing back to superstardom in 1985. Heart has sold more than 35 million records across the globe, including over 22.5 million in album sales in America.
