Wilco have announced new dates for a planned run of shows across the US, following coronavirus-enforced postponements.
Originally announced in March 2020, the band will embark on their ‘It’s Time’ co-headline tour with Sleater-Kinney throughout this August. Wilco will then go it alone for a number of festival and solo headline shows.
In October, the band will then begin the ‘Ode To Joy’ tour, in support of their 11th LP ‘An Ode To Joy’. The shows were first announced back in 2019.
As well as rescheduled shows for which original tickets remain valid, the ‘Ode To Joy’ tour will also include five new dates.
The wait is over.
The west coast Ode To Joy tour kicks off in October 2021.

Last week, meanwhile, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy shared a new song as Scott Tanner, his character from his Parks and Recreation cameo.
In the show, Tanner was the frontman of local band Land Ho! which Chris Pratt’s character Andy Dwyer successfully reunited for a benefit concert.
Tweedy (as Tanner) performs ‘Cold Water’ on ‘The Awesome Album’, the recently-announced debut album from Dwyer’s fictional band in the show, Mouse Rat.
