Heart’s current touring lineup includes all of the members of frontwoman Ann Wilson’s side group Tripsitter. In 2023, Wilson collaborated on an album with Tripsitter called Another Door, and hit the road with the band in support of the record.

One the performances, a July 2023 show at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, was filmed and recorded for a PBS concert special that aired in November 2023. An album featuring audio from the show titled Ann Wilson & Tripsitter: Live in Concert was subsequently released in May 2024.
Now, the PBS special, also titled Ann Wilson & Tripsitter: Live in Concert, is set to be released on Blu-ray and via digital video on June 6.
The show features inspired renditions of such classic Heart tunes as “Crazy on You,” “Love Alive,” “Magic Man,” “Even It Up,” “Straight On,” and, of course, “Barracuda.”
In addition, the concert featured performances of six of the 11 songs from Another Door.
It’s no secret that Wilson is a Led Zeppelin super-fan, so it’s no surprise that she also performed a couple of covers by the British rock legends during the show—“Going to California” and “Immigrant Song.”
Ann also sang a version of the 1970 John Lennon solo gem “Isolation,” a song she recorded for her 2007 debut solo album, Hope & Glory.
The Ann Wilson & Tripsitter: Live in Concert Blu-ray can be pre-ordered now.
Tripsitter features guitarist Ryan Wariner, multi-instrumentalist Paul Moak, bassist Tony Lucido, and drummer Sean T. Lane.
About Heart’s Upcoming 2025 Tour Plans
In late 2023, Heart ended a four-year hiatus from touring. Joining Ann and her sister, guitarist Nancy Wilson, in the re-formed group were Wariner, Moak, Lucido, and Lane, as well as guitarist Ryan Waters. Waters previously had played with Heart on its 2019 tour and also was a member of Nancy’s solo bands.
Heart has more than 30 upcoming concerts lined up in 2025. The band’s itinerary is plotted out from a May 31 show in Atlantic City, New Jersey, through an August 30 performance in Bethel, New York.
Most of the dates will be “An Evening with Heart” shows, featuring no opening act. Todd Rundgren will be the support act at eight concerts in August. For a full list of Heart tour dates, visit Heart-Music.com.
