The Dixie Chicks are returning to touring in a big way.

The country-music trio, which has won 13 Grammy Awards and sold 30 million albums, will hit the road in June for a North American concert trek that will visit more than 40 cities.

The group's DCX MMXVI World Tour will start June 1 in Cincinnati and conclude Oct. 10 at the Hollywood Bowl. The tour will include four other California stops, including a July 15 date at Sleep Train Amphitheatre in Chula Vista. All tour dates and ticket on-sale dates appear below.

It will mark the Dixie Chicks' first major road trip since 2013 and their first U.S. tour in a decade, and will follow 13 European concert dates scheduled for next spring. The group's most recent album, "Taking the Long Way Home," was released in 2006. It won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. In the interim, lead singer Natalie Maines released a solo album, 2013's "Mother," while fellow Chicks Emily Robison and Martie Maguire released two albums as the Court Yard Hounds.

Have the Dixie Chicks maintained a large fan base? Live Nation, the promoters of the tour and the owner of Sleep Train Amphitheatre, is betting the group does.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday for a majority of the tour dates by phone at (800) 746-3000 and online at livenation.com and ticketmaster.com(although the group's tour dates may not appear on those websites until later Monday morning).

An online pre-sale starts Wednesday at 10 a.m. for Citi card-holders. It will be preceded by a Tour Club pre-sale for the group's fan club members and a VIP ticket pre-sale, both of which begun Tuesday at 10 a.m.

The tour was announced Monday morning, with all the dates appearing on the group's website and a link to the dates appearing on the trio's Twitter page, where the Chicks also posted a brief video about the tour. No ticket prices have been announced as yet.

Who?

Seriously, they may have an audience of Bernie and Hillary supporters. Times sure have changed.

I guess they figure Americans have forgotten about their nasty attitudes and opinions.

It will undoubtedly be a rolling campaign tour for whomever the Democrat nominee for president is.

Of the seven or eight country radio stations I can pick up in Kansas City, only one plays them.

Why on Earth would a group of one of the most rabidly anti-war feminists announce this 3 days after a major terror attack and less than 48 hours after France, FRANCE declared war on the Islamic State. You can’t make this stuff up.

Ya. Bush isn’t in office anymore. Of course, they can still blame Bush for everything.

They'll turn their concerts into combination concert/ political rally for Hillary or Bernie. That way they get a twofer.

One half of the high school gym will be there to see the DCs the other half Cankles.

That way both the promoter and Cankles will be able to claim having a packed house.

For most of our history, actors and "entertainers" were generally ignored because their opinions were not only ill formed and unsuited to the majority of normal people, but because also because they couldn't spread them very far.

With the advent of movies and television, these silly people who "play" for a living gained both wealth and power, and what used to pass for silliness now had the means to reach the larger masses and warp their opinions too.

Those girls may know something about making music, but it is apparent that they know nothing about how the real, brutal world functions.
