Heart announces classic rock band as opening act for Upstate NY concert

Get ready to rock.
Heart has announced the opening acts for its “Royal Flush” tour dates, including a classic rock band for an Upstate New York concert. Cheap Trick will open for Heart at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo on March 31, 2025.
Tickets for the Buffalo concert are on sale through Ticketmaster, VividSeats, and StubHub. Prices start at $44.75; additional fees may apply.
Cheap Trick, known for hits like “I Want You to Want Me,” “Surrender” and “The Flame,” was originally set to open for Heart in 2024 but the tour was postponed when Ann Wilson revealed she was being treated for cancer. (An Albany concert was canceled altogether.) The 74-year-old singer said she had a successful operation to remove it, but required chemotherapy and rest before returning to the stage.
Other artists, including Squeeze and Lucinda Williams, will open for Heart in other cities.
“This tour promises to be super fun,” Nancy Wilson said. “Traveling with the likes of the Ever Fabulous CHEAP TRICK, and the Brit-Pop Studs SQUEEZE, not to mention the All-Time Songwriting Muse LUCINDA WILLIAMS. We are super stoked to get back out there and bring the Big 100% live RAWK!”
Ann Wilson, who performed at the New York State Fair last summer with her side project Tripsitter, and her sister Nancy Wilson started Heart in 1974. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, the female-led hard rock group’s hits include “Alone,” “Barracuda,” “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” “These Dreams” and “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You.”
