Arguably the biggest name in modern Americana, Wilco is into its third decade of existence and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. The Chicago six-piece is continually evolving (their nine albums of experimental alt-country all sound completely different from one another, and they’re all good), and have held a reputation as one music’s finest live acts for years. They’ll be joined by Kurt Vile and the Violators, another critically adored folk rock act who have made a career out of deconstructing their genre.
