worldrecordplayer Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Starting a 2017 topic, as Wilco just announced a string of U.S. dates for March, including a 4 night run at the Beacon Theater, March 18-9 and 21-22. All dates up on Wilcoworld, pre-sale starts Wednesday.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I am very excited and will probably go to at least two shows..going to be a tough ticket! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hoping for some Boston shows, but will plan on making the trip down to the Beacon for at least 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
downisthenewup Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Tempted to stay in Chicago an extra night for the Sunday show...wonder if there will be more dates added following Big Ears? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sun Caught Fire Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Wow, 4 shows at the Beacon and right here in NYC. Contrary to earlier post, i don't think getting tickets with 4 shows will be tough, but reserved seating show so hard to get the best ones. Psyched to make a return trip to fabled Massey Hall and so glad it is a 2 show run like in 2011. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boss_Tweedy Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hoping for some Deep South shows that aren't festivals. I just don't have the finances for a Winterlude trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hoping for some Boston shows, but will plan on making the trip down to the Beacon for at least 1.I get the feeling that they'll play Boston after Solid Sound. The inaugural year was the last time that Wilco played in Boston before a Solid Sound in the same calendar year. They did the Bob Dylan tour a month after Solid Sound in 2013, but that wasn't Boston proper. I'd love a Boston show too, but I'd rather they hit a CT theater and come back to the Capitol Theater in Concord, NH which is perfect for the Schmilco tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 I get the feeling that they'll play Boston after Solid Sound.I'll hold onto the hope with the fact that they first announced SS at the Orpheum in March. So it's possible... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marijn Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 My gf and I are planning a trip to NYC around her 30th birthday on March 18, so it's needless to say I'm stoked about the Beacon Theatre announcement. However, I'm afraid it will be tough to get tickets. Any advice for a Dutch kid who never visited the States so far - or is it just a matter of logging in to the presale site and pray for the best?

kwhitehead Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm not much for praying but that's about it. But just keep trying if you don't get through the first time. Honestly, I've never been shut out of a Wilco show before. The NYC tickets will be in demand, for sure, but there are 4 night to choose from. Best of luck... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm hoping 2017 is the year where we finally get an extensive tour of Western Canada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 It just hit me that the new run of shows announced yesterday are billed as part of the Schmilco tour, as opposed to the four night run in Chicago being billed as Winterlude. I guess what I'm thinking is that even though the newly announced dates include multiple consecutive nights at one theater, we shouldn't expect as much set list variation at Schmilco shows as at Winterlude shows. I don't think the difference in the names of the shows is accidental. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Time will tell and only wish we didn't have to wait 4 months for an answer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loneliness Fighter Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Ok, this is my problem. I should state right off, that it is the sort of "problem" that will cause no tears to be shed by those reading. My wife, my dog and I are doing the Canadian snowbird thing this winter. Driving down by car and spending months in Arizona and California. We plan to leave Ontario driving south on Dec. 29th. We have various airbnb's set up for January and February, so we have flexibility for March and April. We were planning to be back home for the middle of April. Then yesterday Wilco announced two nights performing at Massey Hall Toronto in the middle of March.  They are trying to break my heart. I have seen them multiple times at Massey Hall - fantastic every time. Should we plan to abandon sunny California and head back to Toronto for the middle of cold snowy March to see Wilco? Should we plan instead to head to Knoxville Tenn. Big Ears Festival to see Wilco in March and still be in southern climes?  If we end up elsewhere in March, we have never missed a Solid Sound and will be enjoying Wilco in June...  guide us, wise Wilco folks, guide us....

Maybe something out west will be added in early March and you could see that instead of heading home. Visiting NY for the Wilco run is another option. Personally, i was planning to see a few Green Day shows up in Canada in March and now they overlap with the Wilco Beacon shows so will stay home. Another "problem" not deserving in sympathy. I do plan to go to Massey and loved seeing the two shows there in 2011. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Time will tell and only wish we didn't have to wait 4 months for an answer! I would agree that the Winterlude shows could have more variation than the Beacon run. Take a look at the variation between the three Los Angeles shows earlier this year on the Schmilco tour. My guess is it'll be about the same for the Beacon, about 6-8 songs different each night, but plenty of repeats and a good number of songs played at all 4 shows. Hopefully there will be fewer repeats for Winterlude!

I do plan to go to Massey and loved seeing the two shows there in 2011. Problem with that is whether or not he needs to try for tix on the morrow. I'm wondering if they're not going to wind up on the Coachella bill, and play some dates around it in the west/southwest. They haven't played Coachella since 2005. If that's the case, I'd think they won't drop those dates until the January lineup announcement. Same reason Radiohead, who is headlining for the 3rd time, hasn't announced their NA tour dates yet.

nalafej Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Are we sure Wilco will be doing West Coast shows in '17? Seems like they were just there with the Schmilco setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Purely based on speculation that they're playing Coachella... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
