Shakespeare In The Alley Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The 930 Forum post said it was revealed through an email to Wolf Trap members, so it seems to be set. And as for it not being the 8th, Wolf Trap's schedule doesn't have anything for that day at the Filene Center, which is where Wilco would play. I've heard Wolf Trap is a neat place to see a show. So I'm psyched for Wilco there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hadn't seen it mentioned here yet -- and I'm not sure what this has to do with anything, except that I guess Wilco will not be playing on Aug. 1 -- but Nels and Mike Watt will apparently be opening up at M. Ward's free Central Park Summerstage show that day. Brooklyn Vegan had an item about it the other day. To add to their coverage a little bit, Nels said that he and Watt will be playing together (of course) in a group that also includes Yuka Honda and maybe one or two others. Apparently they'll be doing an improv-heavy project that Watt has wanted to do for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If so, I'm gonna make that drive.I've never actually been to Wolf Trap, but I know it has more than one venue. The Filene Center is the pavilion/lawn setup. I don't think it's as big as Merriweather, but I'm not sure of it's actual capacity, so I can't really gage this thing's likeliness to sell out. But Wilco seems to be heading up into a more public "Great American Bands" list, so who knows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw them at Koka Booth Ampitheatre in Cary, NC and that looked ridiculously packed so I don't know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw them at Koka Booth Ampitheatre in Cary, NC and that looked ridiculously packed so I don't know. It's a great venue. My favorite outdoor space in the DC area. Capacity is ~6700 and this is one of the nicer details about the place: Patrons are permitted to bring in food and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in any type container except kegs. Patrons cannot bring any food or drink into the seated area except bottled water, but can eat and drink in picnic areas and on the lawn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First year I am ready and willing to travel anywhere from VA to Maine to see Wilco, looking to see em in twice, hopefully a western mass show and then a Boston show!

KJAM Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wilco will return to my home town of Wilmington, Delaware on July 10th to play at Frawley Stadium (minor league baseball stadium). The show will be sponsored by the Grand Opera House who realized that their 1,100 seat venue was simply not big enough last time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Folks, I'm going to start merging threads about shows in similar areas, on the same swing, whatever. Otherwise it's going to get crazy (crazier...) in here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
windmill Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I heard on the Radio (950 Sports ESPN in Rochester) that Wilco will be playing Art Park in Buffalo sometime in July. Can't remember the day. Can't seem to find anything online either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tangerine Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 delaware isn't too far away for me but would prefer a philly show around that same time.. hopefully they will play in Philly on the 20th or 17th. what a joke apparently they are skipping philly in the summer I'm new to the area.. how far is Wilmington from Philly? http://www.delawareonline.com/blogs/cormier.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
InHiding19 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Is there any word on a Albany, NY or Western, MA show? I would love it if they played Tanglewood again that venue is sick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Wilmington isn't that far from Philly--definitely less than an hour. I drove down from upstate NY for the Wilmington show last summer, and had the weather cooperated, it would've taken me only about 15 minutes longer than it does to get to Philly. I'm not sure it's certain that they're skipping Philly yet, though the Wilmington show does make it seem less likely. The thing is, Philly doesn't have enough smallish outdoor venues. The Mann Center is probably still a little big for them, and it may be easier logistically for them to play all outdoor shows (maybe not, given the shows announced so far).

jenbobblehead Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I got the secret chimp soft sale message from the 9:30 yesterday and it did not mention a Wilco show there or at Merriweather Pavillion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're supposedly playing at Wolf Trap July 8th. They played two shows at the 930 last year, so I doubt if they'll do that again, since it's such a small venue for them.

isadorah Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 They played two shows at the 930 last year, so I doubt if they'll do that again, since it's such a small venue for them. They love the 9:30 club, but reserve those shows for winter months and do the outdoor venues in the summer. I am sure there will be 9:30 club shows in the future, just not on the summer tours.
