The Big Utensil is reporting that Jeff Tweedy and his merry band of alt-country/kraut rock acolytes, Wilco, will be performing for the insanity driven rallies that have become the norm for fellow Chicago-an(ite?) and presidential hopeful, Barack Obama.

Wilco then performs their annual requisite show at Lollapalooza, followed by a quick stop in Jacksonville.  If you plan on seeing the band out West, be sure to get there early to see the fantastic opener, Fleet Foxes (check out my review of their latest here).

Also, be sure to check us out August 1-3 when fellow REAX-er James Ferriera blogs daily from the insanity that is Lollapalooza.
