Wilco and Sleater-Kinney Bring the Beats to the First Interstate Center for the Arts

Wilco and Sleater-Kinney are pleased to announce their "It's Time" Summer 2020 co-headlining tour. After their respective North American and European runs in support of last year's Ode To Joy (out now on dBpm Records), Wilco will return stateside, closing out each night of their co-headlining tour with Sleater-Kinney, who just closed out their The Center Won't Hold tour. The entirety of the tour is made up of outdoor amphitheatres and venues, including a show in Wilco's hometown of Chicago at Millennium Park's Pritzker Pavilion, Nashville's Ascend Amphitheater, Morrison, CO's Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and more. Tickets for these go on sale this Friday, March 13th at 10am. Tickets are $35, $49.50, $77.50 and $89.50 and are available at www.ticketswest.com, by phone at 800-325-SEAT or at all TicketsWest Box Offices.

Throughout the past two-plus decades Wilco has won multiple Grammy Awards, released ten studio albums, as well as a trio of albums with Billy Bragg penning music to lyrics by Woody Guthrie. They have founded their own record label (dBpm Records) and festival (Solid Sound), and 2020 sees them curating Sky Blue Sky, a destination concert experience in Mexico, for the first time. The Chicago sextet continues to be regarded as a live powerhouse, as described by NPR "To see Wilco on stage is to hear the best of the best."

The Center Won't Hold is Sleater-Kinney's midnight record on the doomsday clock. After twenty-five years of legendary collaboration, rock'n'roll giants and Northwest locals, Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker rise to meet the moment by digging deeper and sounding bigger than we've heard them yet. Here are intimate battle cries. Here are shattered songs for the shattered survivors. "The Center Won't Hold drops you into the world of catastrophe that touches on the election," says guitarist/vocalist Tucker of the title track. "We're not taking it easy on the audience. That song is meant to be really heavy and dark. And almost like a mission statement, at the end of that song, it's like we're finding our way out of that space by becoming a rock band."
