Wilco performs at Øyafestivalen in Oslo

The American band Wilco performed at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, marking their return to the festival for the first time in 17 years. The 60-minute set featured a mix of tracks from their extensive catalog, ranging from the 30-year-old album ‘Being There’ to their recent EP ‘Hot Sun Cool Shroud’.

Key performers included frontman Jeff Tweedy, Nels Cline, John Stirratt, and Pat Sansone. The performance included fan favorites such as ‘Via Chicago’, ‘Jesus, Etc.’, and ‘Handshake Drugs’. While the band was praised for their professional and seamless live execution, some commentary noted that the large amphitheater setting lacked the intimacy suited to the band's bittersweet melodic style.
