Pitchfork: Wilco Nix UK Gigs, Add 2008 Dates

Wilco Nix UK Gigs, Add 2008 Dates

Looks like somebody in Wilco's camp forgot to save the date. According to the band's website, the good ship S.S. Wilco won't be docking in UK ports of call this fall, as "a scheduling conflict" has forced the cancellation of a pack of English gigs. Take heart though, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, and London: Wilco "hope to schedule new UK dates soon."

And while one corner of the world gets the shaft, another will be seeing clouds of white and skies of Sky Blue. Wilco has added a March 2008 tour of Australia and New Zealand (smart move-- it's still summer there for most of March) since our last report, popping off March 18 in Sydney.

Meanwhile, residents of Belgium, Spain, and Ireland needn't worry, as Wilco will still head their way next month.

Thanks to reader Daniel Walmsley for the tip-off.
