Today, iconic American rock band Wilco announced they’ll set off on a European tour this spring. “Off we pop to Europe / UK in August / September!” the band wrote on Instagram, announcing the upcoming expedition.
Wilco’s adventures across the pond will kick off at Lokerse Feesten in Lokeren, Belgium, on Aug. 10 before they head south to the Parades De Coura in Tabuao, Portugal, for two evenings on Aug. 19 and 20. From there, they perform at Acieloaperto in Cesena, Italy, on Aug. 24, followed by a set at Todays Festival in Turin, Italy, the following day. They’ll then head north to Utrecht in the Netherlands for two performances at Tivoli Vrendenburg on Aug. 27 and 28 before heading to the United Kingdom to close out August with performances at the O2 Forum in London and End of the Road festival in Wiltshire, on Aug. 30 and 31 respectively.
Wilco will kick off the September segment of their spring tour by remaining in the United Kingdom for four performances: Usher Hall in Edinburgh on Sept. 2; Moseley Folk in Birmingham on Sept. 3; Bridgewater Hall in Manchester on Sept. 5; Mandela Hall in Belfast on Sept. 6 and finally the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on Sept. 8.
Before they set out on their European spring tour, Wilco have a jam-packed touring schedule with sold-out performances at Chicago’s Riviera Theatre in support of their LP Cruel Country beginning on March 23-26 and stops in cities like Port Chester, N.Y., Nashville, Tenn., Orlando, Fla., Huntsville, Ala., Asheville, N.C., and more through April 30.
