The trio returns in October 2023 with Elle King

Chugg Entertainment and Frontier Touring have announced the return of global superstars The Chicks to Australia and New Zealand this October.

Following sold out 2017 Sydney, Melbourne and Mission Estate NZ dates, along with a spectacular headline slot at CMC Rocks QLD, The Chicks make their triumphant return to Antipodean shores for the first time in six years. This October, the captivating trio will take in nine dates down under, with stops in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Christchurch, along with some special winery shows for A Day On The Green including Geelong’s Mt Duneed Estate, Hunter Valley’s Bimbadgen and Sirromet Wines in Mount Cotton.

Frontier Members will gain access to the exclusive pre-sale on Wednesday, May 3rd before tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, May 8th.

Making their Australian debut to huge acclaim in 1999, this year marks The Chicks’ fifth visit to the area.

With the release of their first studio album in 14 years, 2020’s Gaslighter, The Chicks delivered their most anticipated yet, impressing critics globally, co-produced by Jack Antonoff and with collaborators including the likes of Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter and more.

Earning universal recognition as the biggest-selling US 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 13 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.

Their on-stage reputation has seen The Chicks play to hundreds of thousands of fans at some of the world’s most prestigious venues, from London’s O2 Arena to the Hollywood Bowl, LA’s Staples Center to New York’s Madison Square Garden, and outspoken songs like ‘Goodbye, Earl’ and ‘Not Ready To Make Nice’ make it clear that this power trio plays by nobody’s rules. Superstars, renegades, innovators, heroes and villains – for over two decades, The Chicks have developed from a band into a phenomenon.
