The Dixie Chicks are ready to run again in 2016.
The Grammy-winning "Long Time Gone" trio will launch its "DCX MMXVI World Tour," its first American tour in 10 years, on June 1 in Cincinnati. The tour stops at Madison Square Garden on June 13.
Tickets go on sale Friday through Ticketmaster. Citi cardholders can purchase pre-sale tickets through Citi Private Pass starting Wednesday at 10 a.m.
"We're back!" singer Natalie Maines said in a video announcing the tour on Twitter.
"There's no telling what will happen this time," added multi-instrumentalist Emily Robison.
The group's last album "Taking the Long Way" won the album of the year Grammy in 2007, with the single "Not Ready to Make Nice" taking record of the year and song of the year honors.
The awards seem to welcome the trio back into the music industry after being shunned by many, especially in country music, following controversial comments they made in 2003 criticizing then-President George W. Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq.
However, instead of moving forward as the Dixie Chicks, Robison and her sister Martie Maguire released two albums as the Courtyard Hounds and Maines released a solo album "Mother" in 2013.
