Who Is Opening for The Chicks on Tour in 2026? Full Lineup Guide
The Chicks are back on the road in 2026 with a mix of headline shows, stadium dates with Tim McGraw, and festival appearances. If you're wondering who's opening for The Chicks this year — or who they're sharing a stage with — here's the full breakdown.
The Chicks' 2026 Tour at a Glance
The Chicks have three types of shows on their 2026 calendar:
- Headline casino shows in June (Highland and Lincoln, CA)
- Stadium shows as special guests on Tim McGraw's Pawn Shop Guitar Tour (July–August)
- Festival appearances at Zootown Music Festival and Boots and Hearts (June–August)
Each type has a different lineup, so who you'll see depends on which show you attend.
Tim McGraw's Pawn Shop Guitar Tour — Stadium Shows
The biggest shows on The Chicks' 2026 schedule are three stadium dates as special guests on Tim McGraw's Pawn Shop Guitar Tour. These are the shows where the full lineup is confirmed:
- Friday, July 11 — Hersheypark Stadium, Hershey, PA
- Thursday, July 30 — Fenway Park, Boston, MA
- Saturday, August 23 — Target Field, Minneapolis, MN
The Lineup
- Tim McGraw — headliner
- The Chicks — special guest
- Lady A — special guest
- 49 Winchester — support (select dates)
- Timothy Wayne — support (select dates)
This is one of the biggest country touring packages of 2026. Tim McGraw headlines, with The Chicks and Lady A both playing full sets at these three stadium shows. The pairing brings together three of country music's biggest names across different eras — McGraw's hitmaking catalog, The Chicks' return to touring, and Lady A's crossover appeal.
49 Winchester, the Virginia-based country-rock band, and McGraw's nephew Timothy Wayne rotate as openers across the broader 33-date Pawn Shop Guitar Tour, and may also appear on the stadium bills.
Headline Casino Shows
The Chicks have two headline dates at California casinos in June:
- Friday, June 12 — Yaamava' Theater, Highland, CA (21+ event)
- Saturday, June 13 — The Venue at Thunder Valley Casino Resort, Lincoln, CA (21+)
Opening acts for these shows have not been announced yet. Casino shows sometimes don't add openers, or announce them closer to the date. Check the The Chicks page on TourWax for updates as these dates approach.
Tickets for both shows are on sale now, with prices starting around $196.
Zootown Music Festival — Missoula, MT
The Chicks are headlining the Zootown Music Festival on Saturday, June 20 at the Missoula County Fairgrounds. This is their first performance in Montana in over 20 years — a significant return given that songwriter Susan Gibson wrote "Wide Open Spaces" while studying forestry at the University of Montana.

- The Lumineers — Friday headliner
- The Chicks — Saturday headliner

- Joy Oladokun
- And more
Single-day and two-day tickets are available at ZootownFestival.com.

Their live shows are known for tight harmonies, instrumental virtuosity (Maguire on fiddle, Strayer on banjo and guitar), and Maines' powerhouse vocals.
