Wynonna Judd is preparing to embark on the next chapter of her career with the announcement of her upcoming theater tour, dubbed Back To Wy Tour.

The Country Music Hall of Famer, who has also been dubbed one of Country music’s most legendary voices, took to social media on Monday (Aug. 21) to share the exciting tour news with fans via a video.

“Two words…NUH-STALGIA. I am thrilled to FINALLY announce that I’ll be hitting the road this fall, with the BACK TO WY Tour!!!!” Wynonna captioned the clip. “We’re going to travel back to the 90’s, celebrating my start as a solo artist and performing my first TWO albums, Wynonna and Tell Me Why, top to bottom, back to back, in their entirety! This means we get to play the hits, the deep cuts, and everything in between.”

In the clip, the 59-year-old can be seen opening a chest with a plaque that reads “Do Not Open Until August 21, 2023.” Inside, she finds vintage merchandise, magazines, stagewear, CDs, and more from her solo career. 

As for what fans can expect from the tour, she promises it will be a celebration of her iconic career and a tribute to the fans who have been by her side through it all. 

“Getting to share this tour with the fans who have been with me for 40 years, means the world to me. Deep diving into my first two solo albums, track by track, will be such a trip down memory lane. As I sit and listen to these two records, I’m flooded with the memories that surrounded that time in my life,” she wrote. “The fans held me up and supported me through a season of change in 1992, and I now see “herstory” repeating itself. This music healed me then, and is healing me now. The circle of life continues.”

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Produced by Live Nation, the trek will take fans on a trip down memory lane as Wynonna will perform songs from her first two solo projects – Wynonna (1992) and Tell Me Why (1993), performed track by track, front to back, followed by a finale of her other hits along with The Judds classics.

With sales exceeding five million copies, Wynonna’s self-titled project emerged as the top-selling debut album by a female artist at the time. This album achieved a notable feat with three consecutive number-one hits: “She Is His Only Need,” “I Saw The Light,” and “No One Else On Earth.”

Setting a groundbreaking musical precedent, Wynonna subsequently continued her success with the multi-platinum record, Tell Me Why, which spawned a series of hit singles, including “Tell Me Why,” “Is It Over Yet,” “Rock Bottom,” and “Girls With Guitars.”

The 15-city tour is slated to kick off on October 26 at Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, IN and wrap up on December 1 at Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, TN. Wynonna Judd’s tour will make stops across the United States, visiting cities such as San Antonio, Dallas, Louisville and more.
