The Chicks have begun their "Taking the Long Way" 20th Anniversary tour, with the opening night held at Detroit's Fox Theater. The concert featured the 2006 album performed track-by-track in the first act.

This tour, celebrating the five-time Grammy-winning "Taking the Long Way," will travel to cities like Chicago and conclude in Los Angeles in November. Additionally, an expanded edition of the album, featuring bonus tracks and demos, was released on October 2, 2026.
