A heart I know by heart Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I am a long-time Wilco fan from upstate NY and I am traveling in South America for work right now. As I travel through Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, etc... all I keep thinking about is how Wilco needs to get down here to play... great music scene in many of these countries and some great venues... Do you think it will ever happen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew McKean Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 They have. Brazil I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Yeah, they've done at least one show in Brazil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Man.... if they would've happened upon Montevideo at the same time that I was that would have made my summer even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A heart I know by heart Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Found it: http://wilcobase.com/event.php?event_key=893 So let me re-phrase my question... do you think Wilco will ever TOUR through South America? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mariana neri Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yes, I hope. I'm from Brazil! (and my english is bad, sorry)Wilco played here in 2005 and never returned. I got tired of waiting and went to Miami to see them. I talked with them and they said are trying to come in early 2013.I think if they come to Brazil will play in Argentina too. Perhaps Chile.I made this website with a friend http://iswilcocomingtobrazil.com, stay tuned! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 It might be a money loser to do a tour there. I assume that's why most bands don't do it. Certainly the west coast of South America would be extremely difficult to tour by bus. If they rented gear at every venue, maybe they could travel by air and make it workable.

i'm only sleeping Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm sure they would sell out in the very close Buenos Aires and Montevideo, and maybe also in Santiago de Chile, at 2-hour flight distance. And, having in mind that the streaming of 'The Whole Love' was 'trending topic' in Brazil, surely also in Sao Paulo and/or Rio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking into it a bit further, there are a number of cities that are very close, as you mention, which could pretty easily be strung together into a tour. Maybe a flight or two to connect some of the longer stretches. I don't know why more bands don't do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm undecided. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
