This was the first time that Heart took the stage as a band since 2019. However, it wasn’t the first time that the Wilson sisters had been on stage together. Ann Wilson invited Nancy Wilson to join her on stage during her October 10 show in Santa Rosa, California. The sisters performed the classic “Barracuda” together that night.
