Shania Twain brings Queen of Me Tour to Hollywood Bowl May 28, 2023. Country legend’s first major tour in 5 years. New album Feb 3. Tickets Nov 4.
When a five-time GRAMMY® Award-winning legend and the best-selling female artist in country music history announces her first major tour in nearly five years—following a highly successful Vegas residency—you know you’re witnessing the return of genuine royalty. Shania Twain releases her new album Queen of Me on February 3, 2023 (her sixth original full-length offering, first record since 2017, and official debut for new label partner Republic Nashville, a division of Republic Records), then embarks on a global 49-date Queen of Me Tour produced by Live Nation that brings the queen to Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, May 28, 2023.
From Beverly Hills to West Hollywood to Santa Monica who remember when Shania dominated 1990s country-pop with Come On Over (the best-selling studio album by a female artist in any genre in history), transformed country music’s sound and image through fearless genre-blending and iconic fashion, and influenced generations of artists from Taylor Swift to Kacey Musgraves, this Hollywood Bowl performance represents homecoming for artist whose impact extends far beyond country music into pop culture, fashion, and female empowerment.
The tour marks the first time fans around the world will see the queen in all her glory in nearly five years, with opening acts including Kelsea Ballerini, Lindsay Ell, Hailey Whitters, Breland, Robyn Ottolini, Priscilla Block, and Mickey Guyton on select dates.
Tickets go on sale Friday, November 4 at 10am local at LiveNation.com, with $1 of every ticket donated to Shania Kids Can, the charitable foundation she established in 2010.
“Let’s Go Girls…” The Queen Has Returned
That simple phrase—borrowed from Shania’s 1997 mega-hit “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”—captures everything about her return: empowerment, fun-loving energy, invitation to celebration, and connection to the songs that defined an era.
Shania Twain isn’t just country music legend—she’s cultural phenomenon who fundamentally changed what country music could sound like, who could sing it, and how big it could become. Her album Come On Over (1997) sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling studio album by a female artist in any genre in history. Singles like “You’re Still the One,” “From This Moment On,” and “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” crossed over from country to pop radio seamlessly, introducing country music to audiences who’d never considered the genre.
Her influence on contemporary country-pop cannot be overstated. Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Kacey Musgraves, and countless others cite Shania as inspiration—both musically (her willingness to blend country with pop, rock, and international sounds) and professionally (her business acumen, visual branding, and control over creative direction).
Beyond music, Shania became fashion icon. Her crop tops, leopard print, and confident sexuality challenged country music’s conservative image while empowering women to embrace femininity and strength simultaneously. In era when female country artists were expected to be traditional and demure, Shania was bold, sexy, and unapologetically herself.
For upscale audiences throughout Los Angeles who lived through the 1990s and early 2000s, Shania’s music provided soundtrack to that era—played at weddings, blasted from car stereos, dominating radio, and proving that country music could compete commercially with any genre [Insert Internal Link].
Queen of Me: First Album Since 2017, New Label Partnership
Queen of Me releases February 3, 2023, marking significant moment in Shania’s career. It notably stands out as her sixth original full-length offering, first record since 2017, and official debut for her new label partner Republic Nashville, a division of Republic Records.
The six-year gap since her last album reflects both personal challenges (Shania has been remarkably open about vocal issues stemming from Lyme disease that threatened her career) and artistic patience—waiting until she had something meaningful to say rather than releasing product to maintain presence.
The Republic Nashville partnership signals new chapter. Republic Records represents one of music industry’s most powerful labels, home to Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Post Malone, and other mega-stars. Republic Nashville specifically focuses on country and Americana artists, providing infrastructure and promotion resources while respecting artistic vision.
The album title Queen of Me suggests themes of self-ownership, empowerment, and confidence—classic Shania territory but likely explored through lens of her experiences over past two decades: divorce, vocal recovery, remarriage, Vegas residency success, and reflection on legendary career.
She excitedly heralds the highly anticipated album with a new song entitled “Last Day of Summer.” The track unfolds as nostalgic and cinematic anthem set in the final moments of everyone’s favorite season, with delicate guitar melting into steady beat and big screen-worthy strings as she nostalgically recalls memories of September’s arrival.
For country music fans and pop culture observers who’ve missed Shania’s voice—both literally (her powerful, distinctive vocals) and figuratively (her perspective as woman who’s navigated fame, challenges, and comeback)—Queen of Me promises return to form from artist whose best work combined commercial accessibility with genuine emotion and empowerment messaging.
The Queen of Me Tour: 49 Dates Across North America and Europe
To celebrate this next era in style, she will also embark on a global 49-date Queen of Me Tour, produced by Live Nation.
The tour marks the first time fans around the world will get to see the queen in all of her glory in nearly five years, following a highly successful Vegas residency run. That Vegas residency—”Let’s Go!” at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino—ran from 2019 through 2022, earning critical acclaim and demonstrating Shania’s ability to command stage and deliver hits in theatrical setting.
But residency performances differ fundamentally from tours. Vegas shows attract audiences traveling specifically to see you in controlled, consistent environment. Tours bring your show to fans in their hometowns, creating local excitement and allowing broader audiences to experience live performance without Las Vegas travel commitment.
The Queen of Me Tour kicks off Friday, April 28 at Spokane Arena in Spokane, WA and makes stops across North America and Europe in Vancouver, Denver, Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, London, Dublin and more before wrapping up on September 26 at Utilita Arena in Birmingham, UK.
This routing demonstrates Shania’s global appeal. She’s not just American country star—she’s international phenomenon whose music transcends national boundaries and genre classifications. Canadian by birth (born Eilleen Regina Edwards in Windsor, Ontario), Shania maintains strong connection to Canada throughout her career, and the tour includes extensive Canadian dates.
The 49-date scale represents major touring commitment—months of performances, travel, production logistics, and physical/vocal demands. That Shania is undertaking tour of this magnitude demonstrates confidence in her vocal recovery and desire to connect with fans who’ve supported her through challenges and triumphs.
Hollywood Bowl Performance: LA’s Most Iconic Outdoor Venue
The Los Angeles show happens Sunday, May 28, 2023 at Hollywood Bowl—perfect venue for Shania’s blend of country-pop spectacle and intimate emotional connection.
The Hollywood Bowl, operating since 1922, represents pinnacle of outdoor performance venues—natural amphitheater nestled in Hollywood Hills with iconic band shell, excellent acoustics, and capacity for 17,500+ guests. The venue’s history spans classical music, pop, rock, country, and every genre, with legendary performers from The Beatles to Garth Brooks gracing its stage.
For country artists specifically, the Hollywood Bowl provides prestige venue that signals crossover appeal beyond traditional country markets. Performing there means you’ve transcended genre boundaries to become mainstream entertainment destination.
The late May timing positions the show perfectly—California summer beginning, warm weather, outdoor concert season launching, and timing within tour’s first month when production is polished but energy remains fresh.
For upscale audiences throughout Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and greater Los Angeles who treat Hollywood Bowl concerts as complete experiences—arriving early for elaborate picnics, wine selections, and pre-show socializing in the Bowl’s beautiful grounds—Shania’s performance promises celebratory evening combining nostalgia (her massive hits everyone knows), discovery (new album material), and outdoor LA summer perfection.
Supporting Acts: Showcasing Contemporary Country Talent
Kelsea Ballerini, Lindsay Ell, Hailey Whitters, Breland, Robyn Ottolini, Priscilla Block, and Mickey Guyton will be joining Shania on select dates throughout the tour.
This diverse lineup of contemporary country artists demonstrates Shania’s commitment to supporting newer talent while creating complete evening of quality music. Each artist brings distinct style and perspective:
Kelsea Ballerini – established star with multiple chart-topping hits, representing contemporary country-pop that Shania helped pioneer.
Mickey Guyton – groundbreaking Black woman in country music, Grammy-nominated, using platform to advocate for diversity and inclusion.
Lindsay Ell, Hailey Whitters, Robyn Ottolini, Priscilla Block – talented women navigating country music industry and building careers through songwriting, touring, and authentic connection with fans.
Breland – genre-blending artist mixing country, R&B, and hip-hop, representing country music’s evolving sound and demographic.
The specific opening acts for the Los Angeles Hollywood Bowl show would be confirmed closer to concert date, as different artists support different tour legs based on their own schedules.
Charitable Impact: Shania Kids Can Foundation
Shania and Live Nation have announced that $1 of every ticket purchased to Shania’s “Queen Of Me” Tour will be donated to SKC.
Established in 2010 by Shania Twain, SKC (Shania Kids Can) provides services that promote positive change in children’s lives in times of crises and economic hardship. SKC provides children with one-on-one consultations, academic support and group activities, as well as nutritious snacks and meal programs where needed, all while in the safe, confidence-building environment that is the Shania Kids Can Clubhouse.
These children are learning the skills to cope with and overcome family hardships which, in turn, improves their ability to succeed in school.
This charitable component reflects Shania’s personal history. She grew up in poverty in rural Ontario, Canada, experiencing childhood hardships that inform her empathy for struggling children. Rather than simply donating money to existing charities, she created targeted foundation addressing specific needs she understands intimately.
The $1-per-ticket donation structure means the Queen of Me Tour will generate tens of thousands of dollars for SKC—demonstrating how major artists can leverage touring economics to create substantial charitable impact beyond simply writing checks.
For audiences throughout Los Angeles who appreciate when entertainment supports meaningful causes, purchasing Shania tickets means contributing directly to programs helping vulnerable children while enjoying world-class concert experience.
