Wilco Announces Chicago 2014 Residency At Riviera

wilcorare
Wilco returns to Chicago this December for a six-night residency at the Riviera.

Announced via XRT this morning, the Wilco Winterlude dates will conclude the band’s 20th Anniversary tour in their hometown. The band will change their set list nightly, performing songs from every era of their discography throughout.

Wilco’s last Chicago residency took place in December of 2011, where the band split five dates amongst different local venues, aka the Incredible Shrinking tour.  A Riviera residency occurred in 2008, which featured the Total Pros horn section prominently

The last couple of residencies were chock full of special guests, rarities and surprises.  What's on tap for 2014?

Could they go six nights without a repeat?  Possibly, as the catalog is growing large -- with covers, tunes from solo projects and pre-Wilco tunes all in play.  They'll also be touring this time around behind their new rarities collection, Alpha Mike Foxtrot: Rare Tracks 1994-2014, which could offer a few other new tunes for the run (full track list below).  Check out our analysis of Wilco's last Chicago run for more insight.

Tickets for all six shows go on sale Friday, October 17 at 10 a.m.
