Wilco On The Go
Wilco has announced a new batch of dates for North America, taking the band well into October. Their tour plans now include 18 dates, mostly in the Midwest and East Coast areas, with several early August stops in Canada.
Earlier in the year, the group canceled a series of spring concerts – including an appearance at the Coachella Festival – when frontman Jeff Tweedy checked into rehab for a painkiller addiction.
They were set to appear on several Lollapalooza dates before that entire tour fell through.
The band – made up of original members Tweedy and John Stirratt with Glenn Kotche, Mikael Jorgensen, Pat Sansone, and Nels Cline – released its fifth album, A Ghost Is Born, in June on Nonesuch Records. The disc, which follows 2002’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, has met with widespread critical acclaim.
