Heart have announced a summer U.S. tour, “Love Alive,” their first outing in three years. The 39-city jaunt kicks off Tuesday, July 9 at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in St. Louis, MO and wraps September 9 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

The band will be joined at select stops by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Sheryl Crow and Brandi Carlile. Along appearing are Elle King and Lucie Silvas.

Regarding the deep catalog of songs the band will pull form on the upcoming tour, Ann said: “It feels good to see people's eyes light up when we play one of the classic songs they know and love. I always wonder how a song like ‘Crazy On You’ hits the mind and soul of a 17-year-old in 2019...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!”

Added Nancy: “It'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'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's a whole new thing for young kids who love music and they know the difference and appreciate it. It's completely real.”
