Wilco coming back to city with Solid Sound Festival
NORTH ADAMS -- Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art officials confirmed Tuesday what many in the local arts community already have been talking about -- Wilco and its Solid Sound Festival will return to the city during the museum’s upcoming summer season.
"Wilco is coming back," Katherine Myers, museum spokeswoman, confirmed Tuesday.
She declined to confirm when the popular alt-country band would return to the city, saying that several dates -- including a rumored June date -- have been discussed.
However, the band is expected to make an announcement related to the Solid Sound Festival later this week, according to their spokeswoman Deb Bernardini.
Held over three days in August, the Wilco Solid Sound Festival included numerous bands, comedians and sound installations, which not only drew an estimated 6,000 people, but pumped an estimated $1 million to $1.5 million into the local economy.
The pending announcement isn’t a surprise -- Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy hinted several times during the festival, both at a press conference and during the band’s show, that they’d be returning in 2011.
