Following the thrilling announcement that Rilo Kiley will reunite this year for festival appearances, the indie legends dropped full tour dates — their first since 2008.
The reunited lineup of Jenny Lewis, Blake Sennett, Pierre De Reeder, and Jason Boesel will kick off their trek on May 5 at the Fremont Theatre in San Luis Obispo. They’ll hit their previously-announced festival appearances at Just Like Heaven (May 10) and Kilby Block Party (May 16), while snaking along the West Coast — with a stop at the stellar Red Rocks Amphiteatre in Morrison, Colorado. (That date features an opening set by Julien Baker and Torres, who recently announced their collaborative country album.) Then, in the fall, they will return for a run of dates on the East Coast and the South.
“It’s going to be wonderful for us, like going back to the purest version of yourself, that early ’20s place where everything is possible,” Lewis said in a statement. “You’re in a van and Jason’s got the map, Pierre is behind the wheel, and I’m on the shitty acoustic guitar on the bench seat working out a new song with Blake. I don’t think it’s ever been as good as that, when it was just us against the world.”
In addition, the band also announced a special reissue of 2002’s The Execution of All Things, out April 25 via Saddle Creek. The “Frozen Lake Edition” will be released in a variety of formats, including a deluxe LP (cloudy transparent and cream vinyl) and a bonus edition 7-inch (transparent vinyl).
Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday.
