Tickets go on sale on this Friday, April 4 at 10am local time, and will be available at winonafighter.com.
About the upcoming tour dates, the band shares: "Austin made a joke at the start of the year that we are going to play 500 shows this year. We all laughed…. we might've laughed too soon. We are so stoked to be adding EVEN MORE headlining dates to our already expansive YES CHEF TOUR. We are also teaming up with some incredible radio stations for a few additional shows. 500 shows in 365 days here we come."
Winona Fighter recently wrapped up the first leg of the Yes, Chef Tour, which included sold out shows in Nashville, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Denver, and Kansas City.

Simple Plan
Based in Nashville, Winona Fighter—frontwoman and multi-instrumentalist Coco Kinnon, lead guitarist Dan Fuson and bassist/producer Austin Luther — formed after Coco moved there from Boston, and made a strong impression with their 2022 debut EP, Father Figure. Three of its songs—"Subaru", "You Look Like A Drunk Phoebe Bridgers" and "Wlbrn St Tvrn"—were re-recorded for MY APOLOGIES TO THE CHEF, the band's debut album, but their power and potency is in no way diminished. In fact, the rage and frustration that courses through them, and which also infuses the band's energetic and compelling live shows, feels even more visceral, pointed and necessary than before, something that carries over into the other songs too.
