For those of you in the UK they are playing the Albert Hall on June 22nd next year.
Presale starts 2 October @10am local time
Presale code: HOTSUN
General on sale starts 4 October @ 10am local
Also coming out in November is the Hot Sun/Cool shroud EP on physical formats.
I got a limited version on vinyl at Solid Sound festival in June, there was a competition to design the cover for the main physical release, it was won by a 3 yr old 🙂
@dai I’m slightly disappointed by their choice of venue. It’s been great watching them in the smaller halls like the Forum and Troxy. RAH will lack a bit of atmosphere and be distinctly pricier.
Will be a bit surprised if they fill it. Outside festivals they do play 3-4,000 capacity venues in North America, often multiple nights. But they are a bigger live attraction over here and I assume they prefer smaller venues in general, rather than arenas.
Tickets £63 – £140 each! It’s not that long ago it was £25 to see Wilco.
Worth every penny im(ns)ho
4 pro-shot songs from last year’s sensational Solid Sound set (Saturday night)
Thanks for sharing this. I had a dream last night that I went to see Wilco and I was allowed to play with Tweedy’s guitar pedals (one of which was kept in a cage). Bit miffed when the alarm went off.
🙂
I’ve just sat two tables down from Nels Cline in a nice pub near the RAH. I should point out that this definitely wasn’t a dream as Mrs Paws confirmed it was him. I didn’t say hello because it felt a bit rude. Incidentally, he was paying no attention to the test match that was playing on the TV.
Was expecting news of Sky Blue Sky expanded edition.
Oh well.
Sorry @SteveT Not really interesting news I guess.
Not really @pawsforthought as the hot sun/cool shroud cd has been available here for a while.
Enjoy the show tonight if anybody is going. Meanwhile another live album “Blue” was released to streaming services on Friday “Orange” was released a few weeks ago.
Thanks @dai it was a great gig. Here’s the uncut review, with set list-https://www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/live/wilco-royal-albert-hall-london-june-22-150244/
First time I’ve seen Wilco in a venue (as opposed to at a festival). Two hour set time was perhaps a little long for me, but no real complaints otherwise. I rather wish I was going to see them in Paris tonight.
Sounds awesome, which is of course no surprise. They are apparently doing longer shows some nights when they do 2 sets (no support band)
I kind of assumed that’s what we were going to get, but we had a 30 minute support set from Deep Sea Diver (Mini Paws rated them, bought a tee shirt). So, we got a 23 song set rather than two 15 song sets, which they did in Germany. I think we all went home happy.
