The Inside of Outside Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 With Wilco having wrapped up touring for 2015, I am ready to hear VCers prognostications for 2016. Will they continue to play Star Wars in its entirety to lead off shows? When will they hit the road in '16? Where will they tour as they continue to plug Star Wars? Will another record be released?

lost highway Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 New record plus a few shorter tours is my vote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm hoping Wilco hits the Northeast in early 2016, then Jeff returns later in the year for a few solo shows. I feel like it's been a while since I've seen a proper solo show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'd love to see some shows in the mid-Atlantic/southeast area. It's been a while. Would love to see a TWEEDY or Jeff solo show or two around here too. Beyond that, I'm hoping Jeff continues doing the all request shows at the Vic for charity. Those are always such highlights for me. This year's show in May was a little strange since it was one night instead of two, which made it a tough decision to fly in for just one show. Also, the late announcement, coupled with the fact that Wilco had just played 6 nights in December and TWEEDY had just played 2 nights in March, may have led to the show being less well attended than usual.

Vacant Horizon Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I can see them putting out another, dare I say, more serious album with a proper, short tour in the spring and summer. An album with classic build up, bonus tracks etc. I also think Tweedy will to a run next summer if Spence goes to college. I bet there's another Tweedy album on the horizon since there is an actual band now and the initial track list came from 100 new tunes. Theres always a chance for a live album/DVD from Tweedy or Wilco. As for others…new Autumn Defense. They've been pretty regular with albums and tours. Oh, and Jeff might do some more producing. Would love to see him produce Neil Young and force the dude to make a good album. Oh man! I forgot the rumored Loose Fur album! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Skujelo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think we will see Star Wars - The Sequel. (Badumtsh.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

linclink Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 First- Continuation of the "Star Wars" tour (rooting for an NYC triple with an all-acoustic show & for Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Toronto too...)... then...... IIRC correctly Jeff said, in an interview a little while back, that he & Spencer had the next Tweedy album (think it was implied that it was a single album) all finished, mixed & ready to go.. so I'm betting on another Tweedy album (in 2016) before the next Wilco... but another Wilco album sooner than later is certainly possible guessing 2017)... & some Jeff solo dates (including two all-request shows at the Vic this time, please...) would be very welcome too...and...before the end of the year, the Ithaca show as a Roadcase please!!! As great a show as I've ever heard them do & probably the most fun I've had at a Wilco show too! Pure magic that night on every level! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eckythump Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Looks like 2016 is kicking off with Jeff solo, along with The Autumn Defense playing the Peter Buck curated Todos Santos Music Festival in Mexico from January 14-16. Having gone to the 2015 festival I can't recommend it highly enough, and will be doing my best to be there again! http://todossantosmusicfestival.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Still sort of in shock Wilco ended the 2015 touring year by October 1. Was hoping for some late fall Cap Theater and New England dates. Oh well. Still hoping for those shows in winter/early spring, with another new album since Tweedy said they've got the material.

rhino4evr Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm expecting a new Tweedy record in the Winter/Spring, and another new Wilco album in the Summer/Fall, but we will see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Looks like 2016 is kicking off with Jeff solo, along with The Autumn Defense playing the Peter Buck curated Todos Santos Music Festival in Mexico from January 14-16. Having gone to the 2015 festival I can't recommend it highly enough, and will be doing my best to be there again! http://todossantosmusicfestival.com/ That festival sounds great, just love the line-up. Unfortunately, the airfare from my neck of the woods is prohibitively expensive at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hoping for a quick return to NOLA and to finally meet JT in the new year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 there'll have to be a bigger australian tour, since tweddy's confirmed for the byron bay blues fest around easter time. why come all the way down here just for one show?. they'll probably hit other cities as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Big 'Wilco' freestanding sign up in the centre of Barcelona without any explanation as yet. In past years something similar heralded the Primevera headliners. So Wilco in Europe this summer? Hope it's not just festivals as far as the UK is concerned, assuming we get a look in. The alternative is that someone has been doing a bit of fly tipping after Solid Sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 No snow please! Edit: Saw this on FB and haven't received an email yet. Hopefully, no one gets an email on Wed the day of the presale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

linclink Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Man, 2 (rather than the usual 3- if it was 3, I'd be there for sure) NYC dates, but... literally smack dab in the middle of Winter. That's a tough risk weather/road trip wise- especially traveling from the Rochester/Buffalo area. And good seats are $75 before fees...(venue is 3676 capacity & gorgeous)If I knew that one of these two was an all-acoustic show, I'd be there in a second....hoping one of them is & that they announce that ASAP!I just saw "Star Wars" twice (Cleveland- terrible venue, fine performance, overall a real bust of a trip & Ithaca- as great as I've ever seen them & as much as I've ever had at one of their gigs) & while I'm guessing that they will most likely mix up the set list as much as possible... this becomes a more questionable proposition than usual.At least it's on a Friday & Saturday, so, in the end, I'll probably cave in, but I'm not so sure just yet on this one.

remphish1 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Excited they are playing Brooklyn but have noticed increasingly Wilco avoid Manhattan..Interesting.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 your crystal ball works well. Now if only we get those solo shows! I'm really thrilled the Boston show is at The Orpheum. I like that place so much more than the venues in the Theatre District. See you there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Back to the Orpheum in Boston. Much better than the Wang. Not an "Evening With" show, so pretty much guarantees the March 2010 show at the Orpheum will remain in my top 5 shows of all time. Very psyched for this, easy walk over from my office. May have to make a run on the Portland show as well. One is not enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PearlJamNoCode Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'd kill for a proper (non-festival) Philly-area show at this point. It's been quite a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 The Orpheum is a million times better than the Wang. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
