Heart is undoubtedly one of the best rock groups ever to come out of the 1970s and 1980s. They made a name for themselves in the ’70s with guitar driven songs like “Barracuda”, and made it big in the ’80s with an incredible string of hits including “Alone”. Last year the band, led by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, toured extensively with Journey and Cheap Trick in amphitheaters and arenas all over the United States. This year they are hitting the road once again, except now on their own for most dates. It’s great news for fans as longer sets can be expected – and what could be better than two hours of amazing vocals from Ann and killer guitar licks from Nancy? Here’s their summer tour schedule as of today:
