Dixie Chicks coming to White River Amphitheater July 8

Popular, talented, sometimes controversial and multi-Grammy Award winners the Dixie Chicks will be coming to the White River Amphitheater on July 8. The show will be part of the group’s first United States tour in more than a decade, and follows a tour of Europe that begins in April.

The concert will be part of a three-city Pacific Northwest swing as the three-woman group will visit more than 40 cities in the United States and Canada. The tour will include a July 7 stop at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, and a July 9 stop at Sunlight Supply Amphitheater in Ridgefield, according to the announcement released Monday morning.

The DCX MMXVI World Tour will kick off June 1 in Cincinnati.

Tickets for all three Northwest shows will go on sale Friday at livenation.com.

The trio, comprised of Natalie Maines, Martie Erwin Maguire and Emily Erwin Robison, has won 13 Grammy Awards and has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. “Taking the Long Way,” their last album that was released in 2006, won the Grammy for album of the year. The hit single from the album, “Not Ready to Make Nice,” won the Grammys for song and record of the year.

Two of their albums, “Wide Open Spaces” in 1998 and “Fly” in 1999, reached diamond status with sales of more than 10 million copies.
