Wilco Announce Summer Tour

Next week, "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" is headed to Chicago to tape four shows. And who better to greet Conan than the Windy City's favorite rock band***? On May 9 at the Chicago Theatre, Wilco will entertain the loveable redhead and his crew, as well as a theatre full of fans (tickets are available now via the Conan website). The rest of the country will have to wait until May 12 to watch the show on TV.

If the boob tube experience just won't suffice, it will only be another month and a half until the next Wilco tour. The band has just revealed yet another slew of dates, which will take them through June and July. Wilco will polish the trek off with a stint at Lollapalooza in early August.
