Wilco: From The West Coast To South America

The West Coast outing includes multiple nights in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The band has also thrown in a stop in Boise, Idaho, and Portland, Ore. The South America tour boasts Wilco’s first show in Brazil since 2005 and its first-ever gigs in Uruguay, Chile and Argentina.

“It’s not an understatement to say our South American fans are among our most enthusiastic in the world,” Tweedy said. “We hear from them often, and many of them have made trips to see Wilco in places far from their homes. They’ve been waiting patiently a long time for us to come there, and I am happy to say the wait is over. Get ready South America! We’ll be there soon!”

In between the previously announced U.S. run, Wilco has lined up headline gigs and festival appearances in Europe, along with a set at Fuji Rock Festival in Niigata, Japan.

Wilco promises, “Lots more exciting news to come this summer. But for now, we’re off to find the best tips for fighting jet lag.”
