Here’s some happy news for Heart fans. The band has announced dates for a 2025 edition of its Royal Flush Tour it canceled many of its planned 2024 concerts because frontwoman Ann Wilson was being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer.

The new trek currently features 19 confirmed North American shows, all of which were rescheduled from this year. The tour kicks off on February 28 in Las Vegas and is plotted out through an April 5 show in Quebec City, Canada.
Heart posted a video trailer for the 2025 tour on its social media pages. The promo, which is soundtracked by the band’s classic hit “Crazy on You,” features an accompanying note that reads, “We can’t wait to resume the Royal Flush Tour in 2025! We hope to see all of you good people there!” In the comments section of the Instagram post, guitarist Nancy Wilson hinted at additional shows, writing, “Stay tuned! More to come.”
Ann Wilson reposted the video on her Facebook page, adding the brief message: “The best is yet to come!”

Tickets for the 2025 concerts are available now. Tickets purchased for the canceled 2024 shows will be honored for the rescheduled dates. The tour page at Heart’s official website also still lists a postponed October 21, 2024, concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City that has yet to be rescheduled.
Ann Wilson Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
In May, Heart announced that they were canceling a series of European concerts scheduled for June and July because Ann had to undergo “a time-sensitive but routine medical procedure for which the minimum recovery time is six weeks.”
Then, Ann revealed in a July 2 message that she’d undergone her recent operation “to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous.” The singer reported that she would be undergoing preventive chemotherapy treatment, and that her doctors instructed her to take the rest of the year off to recover. That’s why the rest of Heart’s 2024 tour dates were canceled.
Nancy Wilson Recently Revealed Heart Was Set to Return to Touring
In an August 2024 interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, Nancy Wilson revealed that the band would be returning to touring starting in February 2025. She also talked about how much she’s enjoyed touring with Heart and her sister Ann again for the first time in several years.
“Going out on the stage again with my sister and with these great players, just kick ass players, was really uplifting,” she noted. “Really satisfying, super exciting, fulfilling.”
Nancy also revealed to Ultimate Classic Rock that Heart was considering putting together a new album, possibly before getting back on the road.
“We’re actually in talks about an acoustic album, while we’re waiting to go back out on the tour, which I think it’d be just a perfect use of our time,” she shared. “Because me and the band guys could put these acoustic Heart songs together in ways that are kind of an unexpected way of doing [and] hearing Heart songs, fresh again.”
