An Evening with Wilco
An Evening with Wilco
Wilco announces a US summer tour with a run of shows throughout June and July in the Midwest, South and East Coast. All shows, including the band’s previously announced dates in April and May, are billed as “An Evening with Wilco,” and the band is set to appear at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on Saturday, June 13 at 8 p.m. The one exception is the date at Forest Hills Stadium, where Yo La Tengo will open. Wilco also embarks on an extensive EU/UK tour in August and September. Oakland University Credit Union is the exclusive presenting partner of Meadow Brook Amphitheatre.
The announcement arrives on the heels of the “earnestly mov[ing]” (GQ) Sky Blue Sky festival in Mexico last month and the recent news of the 2026 Solid Sound Festival selling out in the fastest time in its nine-year history. This year’s festival features Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key, a special performance by Wilco and Billy Bragg marking the first-ever full-length concert of music from the Mermaid Avenue songbook. Festival highlights also include The Breeders, Gang of Four, a solo set from Bragg, S.G. Goodman, L’Rain, Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band, Sharp Pins, The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis, Hannah Cohen and much more.
Wilco’s 2026 touring features material from their vast catalogue, including their “immensely rewarding” (Stereogum) 2023 full-length studio album Cousin and 2024’s “refreshing” (Paste) Hot Sun Cool Shroud EP, plus two major catalog reissues: an expanded three LP version of 2010’s The Whole Love (May 2025, dBpm) and a deluxe nine LP/four CD box set of 2004’s A Ghost Is Born (February 2025, Nonesuch). “Wilco have remained one of the most consistently relevant and rewarding American bands of any era,” (Paste) which emanates both on stage and on record.
Next week, Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy and his “versatile quintet comprised of family and friends” (Chicago Tribune) – sons Spencer and Sammy Tweedy, Macie Stewart, Liam Kazar and Sima Cunningham – begin the second leg of the Twilight Override tour, with shows across the Midwest, Southwest and Northwest throughout March and April. Twilight Override, the sprawling three-disc album released by Tweedy last year, is “a low-key magnum opus” (New York Times) and “an absolutely essential entry in the catalog of Jeff Tweedy” (PopMatters).
