kcortez Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Wednesday December 15, 2010 North Adams Transcript NORTH ADAMS -- Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art officials confirmed Tuesday what many in the local arts community already have been talking about -- Wilco and its Solid Sound Festival will return to the city during the museum’s upcoming summer season. "Wilco is coming back," Katherine Myers, museum spokeswoman, confirmed Tuesday. She declined to confirm when the popular alt-country band would return to the city, saying that several dates -- including a rumored June date -- have been discussed. However, the band is expected to make an announcement related to the Solid Sound Festival later this week, according to their spokeswoman Deb Bernardini. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Oh JOY!! This takes away the cruel chill of winter and fills me with hope for the spring! I'll be brewing up some Wilco coffee and offering up to the music gods to have this be as good as last year. What can they do to top themselves? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosco Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Best guess would be the last weekend in June, there are no rooms at the Inn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosco Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Wow. The rooms sold out before the announcement even? My wife couldn't even get a room in North Adams, and she said most in Pittsfield are also booked. I wouldn't be surprised if Wilco/Solid Sound booked the whole Holiday Inn it's just 86 rooms.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wilco/Solid Sound booked the whole Holiday Inn it's just 86 rooms. When is she looking for... the entire month of June? I can't wait for an official announcement & lineup. I suppose the latter won't be happening for a while, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
park Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I don't think it will ever have quite as easy-going a vibe as year one did but I think it will be great. There's a plan in place to upgrade the city campground and I think they've added online booking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kcortez Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 I would hit the Williamstown hotels then pretty quickly. The ones on Route 2 close to Williamstown (Willows, Orchard, Maple Terrace, Williams Inn) are within walking distance of the shuttle stop they ran last year. Very convenient.

They are mostly sold out too for that last weekend in June. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosco Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I was able to reserve the last weekend in June at the Holiday Inn (6/23-6/26) Weird, because I talked to both the reservations and the front desk and they are booked, they did take my name for a waiting list. Intresting to note the Front Desk guy called it "That Music Weekend", so I think we nailed the correct weekend ;^) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-seven Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Intresting to note the Front Desk guy called it "That Music Weekend", so I think we nailed the correct weekend ;^) Porches mentioned that they were fully booked because of a concert as well. I think this is it. Thanks for the tip.So looking forward to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Turnips Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 seems like the Holiday Inn online booking gives several suite options if you book from the Thursday through the weekend until the Monday. Otherwise it shows nothing available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hazel Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just talked to the front desk at holiday inn and the guy said wilco booked the place weeks ago and it was all the performers staying there and said it wasn't worth getting on any waiting list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cracked & hooked Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I just got the last room at Blackinton Manor, 2 miles from MassMoca. Yeeeeeeow! Minorly bummed that we won't be at the Holiday Inn again, but so psyched to be celebrating our 12th anniversary the Solid Sound way!!! Now I just need to cancel the HI rooms I had reserved for every weekend in August... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
