Wilco is still in the midst of its fall tour through the United States, with show in Cedar Park, Texas, tomorrow night, and a breach of the 49th Parallel planned for two shows in Toronto's Massey Hall next week. The band has just announced that, come February 2010, the tables will turn for what it's calling a TransCanada tour, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, with a half dozen stops planned for south of the border.
Three of those US dates kick off the tour—in Missoula, Montana; Portland, Oregon; and Seattle, Washington—February 7 through 10. The Canadian leg is set to launch with what will truly be an auspicious beginning: a free concert in Vancouver's David Lam Park on February 13 as part of the "Live City" events celebrating the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
The pre-sale for all but the last five shows begins next Wednesday, October 14, at 10 AM via the band's FrontGate store; the rest follow suit on October 21. You can access the pre-sale site then at wilco.frontgatetickets.com.
