Heart Tickets

The Heart seat call in brief

Buy a lower-bowl seat facing the stage in an arena, or a reserved pavilion seat at an amphitheater. Heart is a voice-and-guitar band: Ann Wilson sings lead while Nancy Wilson handles guitar and harmonies, and the best seat shows both sisters while putting you in the strongest part of the sound mix.

• Best overall: lower bowl, facing the stage.
• Best for guitar fans: lower-bowl sides close to Nancy Wilson's side of the stage.
• Best value: upper-level center.
• Outdoors: pavilion seats over the lawn for a vocal-led show.

Also check whether your date is a headline show or a shared bill, which affects set length and how early the room fills.

Arena and amphitheater sections for a Heart concert

Arena floor

For a classic rock show like this, floor chairs are common in place of a standing pit; the listing will say which. The front floor rows cost the most of any seat, while the rear floor, being flat, trails the raised lower bowl for sightlines.

Lower bowl facing the stage

The raised angle shows both Wilsons and the full stage, and seats near the soundboard (the mixing desk, usually in the middle of the floor or the first rows behind it) get the clearest mix.

Lower-bowl sides

Good for watching guitar work up close. At extreme angles, though, part of the stage disappears.

Upper level

Pay a little more for a center section; corner seats look at the stage from a weaker angle.

Amphitheaters

The reserved pavilion is worth the step up from the lawn (open grass seating at the back, sold as general admission). Grass seating works for a mellow summer evening, though the performers look tiny from that far back.

Barracuda to Alone: the songs in a Heart set

A typical set pulls from two eras.

• 1970s hard rock: "Magic Man," a No. 9 hit, and "Crazy on You," both from 1975's Dreamboat Annie, with "Barracuda" from the 1977 follow-up Little Queen peaking just outside the top ten.
• 1980s power ballads: the self-titled 1985 comeback topped the album chart, moved five million units and produced the chart-topper "These Dreams" and the top-five "Never." Two years later, Bad Animals delivered "Alone," a three-week Hot 100 No. 1.
• 1990 and later: a No. 2 single from Brigade in 1990, then studio albums spaced across the 2010s, the most recent being Beautiful Broken in 2016.

The touring band behind the sisters since 2023: Ryan Waters and Ryan Wariner on guitar, Paul Moak on keys and guitar, Tony Lucido on bass, and Sean T. Lane on drums.

Seattle roots, Vancouver beginnings and the Rock Hall

The group evolved through a string of Seattle-area lineups from 1967 onward and has used the name Heart since 1973. Ann came aboard first; Nancy followed in 1974. Its early base was across the border in Vancouver, British Columbia, and the debut album was cut there.

The career numbers are large: more than 35 million records sold and top-ten albums in four different decades, a record for a band fronted by women. Chris Cornell inducted them into the Rock Hall on April 18, 2013, and the Hall names Ann and Nancy as the first women to lead a hard-rock band. Their 2012 Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin remains one of their most-watched performances, and the Recording Academy gave them its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023.

Breaks, comebacks and co-headliners

Heart's road history has long pauses, so the recent pattern matters more than any single tour.

• Shared bills: Journey and Cheap Trick joined Heart for a 2008 US run; Def Leppard split top billing in summer 2011; and in 2016 the 30-date Rock Hall Three for All teamed Heart with Joan Jett and Cheap Trick.
• Late 2016 to 2019: a hiatus, with the sisters touring separate projects.
• 2019: the Love Alive Tour, announced in February and extended through October.
• December 2023: a comeback after four years off stage, with two California shows and a hometown New Year's Eve concert. On January 1, 2024, the band played between periods at the NHL Winter Classic in Seattle.
• Royal Flush Tour (2024): revealed in late January 2024, with several dates alongside Squeeze, Journey, Def Leppard or Cheap Trick. Ann Wilson's medical treatment forced the cancellation of the UK and European summer leg; the band was back on North American stages in 2025.

Nancy Wilson told interviewers in August 2026 that a new album was nearly complete and a world tour was coming. Until dates appear in this page's event list, that is a plan, not a schedule.

Hometown dates, shared bills and the on-sale

Buyers range from original 1970s and 1980s fans to people who discovered the hits decades later.

• Long breaks build demand. The first dates after a hiatus usually sell quickly.
• Co-bills reach more people. Pairing Heart with another major rock act pulls in two fan bases at once, so those nights can move faster, though each band's set may be shorter.
• Seattle-area shows carry extra weight. Pacific Northwest dates are hometown nights.
• The front rows go in presales. Fan-club and venue windows typically come first.

On resale, prices may sit over or under face and often move in the last weeks. Reserved Seat backs every order with a 100% guarantee. Band news is posted at heart-music.com.
