Any thoughts if Wilco may do Summer Dates Back in the States


Recommended Posts

I presume they would like to have a summer off.

 

For me it's Just easier to plan on summer concert dates.

 

I Am going to Boston but would like more Family members to see them as well.

 

Chime on in thanks

Not likely, this is the e-mail that was sent out a few weeks ago (emphasis mine)

 

Greetings everyone,

 

Wilco are ever so-briefly back in the USA today, heading south after wrapping up leg one of their most extensive Canadian tours ever. After a run through the US Northwest, they've played the Olympics in Vancouver and gigs in all the Western provinces. This weekend they're dipping into the U.S. upper Midwest for a trio of sold-out shows in Duluth, Madison and East Lansing. We'll be streaming the Madison show live from the Overture Center on Saturday night, beginning with stellar support from Califone at 7:30 pm central time. Be sure to tune in.

 

They'll be back in Canada next week for 6 more shows... beginning in Hamilton and winding up in Halifax. Tickets remain available for a few of the shows. Info here. If you're going, be sure to stop by the Oxfam table in the lobby and show them your support, moral or otherwise, for the good work they're doing in Haiti and elsewhere. Check out the Causes section for more info re: Haiti, Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders.

 

"An Evening with Wilco" is next up, beginning March 22 in Miami, FLA. Fourteen of the 16 shows are already sold out but a few tickets remain for the aforementioned opener in Miami Beach and the March 31 show in Scranton, PA. Info here.

 

On other fronts and in other hemispheres, more Europe dates are up and on sale for May shows across Scandinavia and in Spain and Italy. We'll shortly announce another European tour for September which will include 5 shows in Germany, 5 in the UK and the band's first ever appearance in the Czech Republic. Watch the site for the announcement soon. Oh and lest we forget, Wilco will be touring Australia, New Zealand and Japan this spring as well. Those dates are on sale now.

 

Quick notes: Nels Cline has just released a new DVD "Stained Radiance". Info here. Pat Sansone and Glenn Kotche guest on the forthcoming solo album by Radiohead's Phil Selway. Jeff Tweedy spent a chunk of the winter in Chicago producing a new record for friend, legend and fellow Chicagoan Mavis Staples (release date tba). Japanese dates will be the band's first in 7 years. Wilco will spend most of the summer working on a new record so see em now if you can -- after June, Wilco shows look to be scarce for the rest of 2010, esp. in North America.

Phew, that's a lot to digest.

 

More soon. Thanks for your stellar support.

 

The HQ staff.

 

PS. There is a sale on in the store. Lots of new items, posters, etc.
