Kurt Vile Will Head Out On His First North American Solo Tour In A Decade Next Year

Kurt Vile tours a fair amount, and when he does, he’s usually accompanied by his backing band, The Violators. In 2020, though, he’s going to do something he hasn’t done in ten years: tour without them. Vile has just announced his first solo tour in a decade, which will run from early April to mid-May in 2020. On all dates, he will be supported by Cate Le Bon.

He offered a preview of what his solo tour might sound like earlier this year with his NPR Tiny Desk performance (although he was accompanied by a guitarist). More recently, he shared a documentary about the making of his 2018 album, Bottle It In.

Find Vile’s upcoming tour dates below. For those craving full-band Vile, he still has one date with The Violators, at 4xFAR in the Coachella Valley on January 18-19, also featuring Anderson .Paak, Mark Ronson and Q-Tip.
