Wilco will play a run of 16 concerts in Eastern US cities beginning in Miami, Florida, on March 22, and culminating in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on April 11. The concerts are presented as An Evening with Wilco and will feature extended, varied sets exploring material from each of the accomplished Chicago sextet’s seven studio albums. The tour includes concerts in Clearwater, Savannah, Atlanta, Durham, Richmond, Bethesda, Montclair, Providence, Boston, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, and features Wilco’s first concert appearances in the cities of Scranton, Pennsylvania; Concord, New Hampshire; and Hartford, Connecticut. Ticket presales for these new dates are set for Wednesday, January 6, at 10 AM ET, via the band’s official website, Wilcoworld.net. All other tickets go on sale Friday, January 8, and Saturday, January 9. All tour dates and available venue links can also be found at nonesuch.com/on-tour.

These tour dates continue what is already promising to be a busy start to the new year for Wilco. In late January they head to Los Angeles to perform as part of the 2010 MusicCares Person of the Year concert honoring Neil Young and they make their debut performance on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on January 28. In February they embark on a previously announced tour that includes concerts in the Pacific Northwest, the upper Midwest and their most extensive Canadian tour in their 15-year history. Previously announced tour dates in Japan, New Zealand, and Australia follow in April and May. The full list of tour dates follows.

Wilco’s latest studio album, the Grammy-nominated Wilco (the album) has landed on many critic’s year end polls as one of the best albums of 2009, and Rolling Stone magazine recently cited Wilco’s 2002 album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot as the third best album of the decade.
