Fresh off their first live performances in over a decade—including a headlining kickoff in San Luis Obispo and a Just Like Heaven festival set at Brookside at the Rose Bowl this past weekend—beloved indie rock outfit Rilo Kiley has expanded their Reunion Tour with a new batch of dates, including a highly anticipated stop at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Oct. 18.
The added West Coast dates, set for Los Angeles and a San Diego stop at Gallagher Square on Oct. 17, will feature Waxahatchee as the opener. The two indie forces are set to take the stage together in what’s sure to be one of the season’s most nostalgic and powerful bills.
Alongside the Los Angeles announcement, Rilo Kiley also revealed additional stops on the East Coast, including two NYC-area dates in Asbury Park on Aug. 30 and Port Chester on Aug. 31. They join the band’s previously announced shows at Pier 17 on Sept. 5 and Central Park SummerStage on Sept. 8. Special guests vary by city, with Natalie Bergman, Dean Johnson, and Ben Gibbard among the rotating support.
Tickets for the general public will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, May 16 at Ticketmaster.com. There will also be a Rilo Kiley fan presale starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 13.
The tour follows an emotional reunion at Just Like Heaven festival this past weekend, where the band delivered a nearly perfect set for fans, marking its third live performance in 17 years. Opening with “The Execution of All Things,” the band leaned heavily on its beloved 2002 album, treating fans to tracks like “Wires and Waves” and “The Moneymaker.”
This marks the band’s first official tour since going on hiatus in 2011.
