Ann Wilson, the beloved frontwoman of the iconic '70s rock band Heart, has announced new dates for her 2026 world tour, bringing her backing band all the way to Japan. The exciting news was shared on Tuesday via Instagram, sparking massive enthusiasm among Japanese fans.
Wilson first announced her massive solo trek on May 5, and it is slated to visit over 20 cities across the U.S., Canada, and now Japan. The tour commences on September 10 in Clearwater, Florida, and will conclude on November 20 in Yokohama, Japan. Supporting the rock icon is her backing band, Tripsitter, who have been her core creative collaborators since 2023.
The solo run will support Wilson and Tripsitter's debut album, Another Door, which was released on September 29, 2023. Fans will also get to hear new material live, as the group's second album, Consecrated Ground, is scheduled to drop mid-tour on August 14, adding nine fresh tracks to the potential setlist.
