What inspired you to name it &#8220;Love Alive&#8221;?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ANN:<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8220;Love Alive&#8221; is a song and a sentiment that goes back a long way with us. It goes forward too. It is a hopeful, positive and universal vibe like we feel this tour will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NANCY<\/strong>: Yes! I think the tour will spark some positive new energy as we rediscover some of our iconic songs and also some fan favorites. Calling the tour &#8220;Love Alive&#8221; was something Ann and I felt instantly good about. We have always had many love-themed mottos along the way like &#8220;Love Rules,&#8221; &#8220;Love Wins,&#8221; &#8220;Love is IT&#8221;&#8211;and of course it&#8217;s a very cool song as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>This will mark Heart&#8217;s first tour in three years. During this time, you both released your own projects. Do you feel your time apart will inject Heart with a new energy?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NANCY<\/strong>: Yes, I could see it was time for Heart to have a break. We&#8217;d been slogging through tour after tour fairly nonstop and were starting to burn out a little bit. Things had just reached a heavy climax. Working with my other new band Roadcase Royale was a life-saver. Writing brand new songs playing shows and delivering a new album with them was the medicine my soul needed.&nbsp;Ryan Waters&nbsp;(who with&nbsp;Liv Warfield&nbsp;worked in Prince&#8217;s band) will be joining me on the Heart stage and I know that will inject a wonderful magic into the Heart equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ANN:<\/strong>&nbsp; Absolutely! Both Nancy and I have stretched our wings in life these last three years. We&#8217;ve both lived and loved. We have breathed and traveled and experienced life. We come to this tour with fresh energy and oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Might this year&#8217;s tour be different in any way than the 2016 tour?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ANN:<\/strong>&nbsp; It will be unlike any other Heart tour that has been. Some of the songs will be classic of course, but this tour will be a new animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NANCY:<\/strong>&nbsp;I think this tour should look feel and sound bigger than other Heart tours so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>What is the connective tissue between Heart and the other artists you&#8217;ve invited to tour with you?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NANCY:<\/strong>&nbsp;I think this year is a good year to show the collective impact of some powerful women in music. We would usually steer clear of the female-centric concept, but in the light of current events it seems like the right statement at the right time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ANN:<\/strong>&nbsp; Sheryl and Joan we have known for a long time. We have hung out and appreciated each other&#8217;s music onstage and off.&nbsp;Brandi Carlile&nbsp;is a fresh and authentic artist that we both love&#8230;.and&nbsp;Elle King&nbsp;is my favorite new artist. She has so much soul and attitude! We are so thrilled to host all these artists on the &#8220;Love Alive&#8221; tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Heart has created a meaningful body of work with songs that are deeply woven into the culture. Can you describe the feeling of what it&#8217;s like to perform these songs in front of longtime fans as well as new ones?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ANN:<\/strong>&nbsp; It feels good to see people&#8217;s eyes light up when we play one of the classic songs they know and love. I always wonder how a song like &#8220;Crazy On You&#8221; hits the mind and soul of a 17-year-old in 2019&#8230;they seem to be as into it live as everyone else. When I think of the connection we continue to have with our very diverse audience, I am deeply grateful and always amazed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NANCY:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>It&#8217;s an incredible feeling and a great compliment to see our loyal fans and the new generation of Heart fans at the shows. It speaks to the songs as well as giving a bigger sense of history to the younger ones. It&#8217;s authentic live music with no added prerecorded or auto tuned vocals or tracks blended in. No bells or whistles, smoke or mirrors. I think in many ways that&#8217;s a whole new thing for young kids who love music and they know the difference and appreciate it. It&#8217;s completely real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FLiveNation%2Fvideos%2F605465646560418%2F&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=476\" width=\"476\" height=\"476\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VIP PACKAGES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FRONT ROW + MEET &amp; GREET PACKAGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-ONE FRONT ROW TICKET<br><br>-VIP EARLY ENTRY INTO THE VENUE<br><br>-EXCLUSIVE PRESHOW MEET &amp; GREET WITH ANN &amp; NANCY WILSON<br><br>-PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPH WITH ANN &amp; NANCY WILSON<br><br>-SPECIALLY DESIGNED HEART RAGLAN TOUR SHIRT&nbsp;<em>(EXCLUSIVE TO VIP PACKAGE ONLY)<\/em><br><br>-COLLECTIBLE HEART TOUR LITHOGRAPH AUTOGRAPHED BY ANN &amp; NANCY WILSON&nbsp;<em>(LIMITED PRINT)<\/em><br><br>-HEART TOTE BAG<br><br>-EXCLUSIVE HEART VIP MERCHANDISE ITEM<br><br>-OFFICIAL MEET &amp; GREET LAMINATE<br><br>-COMMEMORATIVE VIP TICKET<br><br>-ON-SITE VIP HOST<br><br>-VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MEET &amp; GREET PACKAGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-ONE PREMIUM RESERVED TICKET LOCATED IN ROWS 2-5<br><br>-VIP EARLY ENTRY INTO THE VENUE<br><br>-EXCLUSIVE PRESHOW MEET &amp; GREET WITH ANN &amp; NANCY WILSON<br><br>-PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPH WITH ANN &amp; NANCY WILSON<br><br>-SPECIALLY DESIGNED HEART RAGLAN TOUR SHIRT&nbsp;<em>(EXCLUSIVE TO VIP PACKAGE ONLY)<\/em><br><br>-COLLECTIBLE HEART TOUR LITHOGRAPH AUTOGRAPHED BY ANN &amp; NANCY WILSON&nbsp;<em>(LIMITED PRINT)<\/em><br><br>-HEART TOTE BAG<br><br>-EXCLUSIVE HEART VIP MERCHANDISE ITEM<br><br>-OFFICIAL MEET &amp; GREET LAMINATE<br><br>-COMMEMORATIVE VIP TICKET<br><br>-ON-SITE VIP HOST<br><br>-VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VIP TOUR PACKAGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-ONE PREMIUM RESERVED TICKET<br><br>-SPECIALLY DESIGNED HEART RAGLAN TOUR SHIRT&nbsp;<em>(EXCLUSIVE TO VIP PACKAGE ONLY)<\/em><br><br>-COLLECTIBLE HEART TOUR LITHOGRAPH AUTOGRAPHED BY ANN &amp; NANCY WILSON&nbsp;<em>(LIMITED PRINT)<\/em><br><br>-HEART TOTE BAG<br><br>-EXCLUSIVE HEART VIP MERCHANDISE ITEM<br><br>-COMMEMORATIVE VIP TICKET<br><br>-ON-SITE VIP HOST<br><br>-VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>37 US dates and 2 Canadian dates.
