Wilco and Billy Bragg will perform Mermaid Avenue Live, presenting their collaborative 1998 and 2000 Mermaid Avenue albums in full, to open the Solid Sound festival on Friday, June 26, 2026. The festival will take place at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts, from June 26 to June 28, 2026. Three-day passes are available. The Mermaid Avenue project began when Nora Guthrie asked Billy Bragg to set Woody Guthrie's unpublished lyrics to music; Bragg then brought in Wilco and recorded 15 tracks for the 1998 album, followed by Mermaid Avenue Vol. II in 2000 and a 2012 box set with outtakes. Jeff Tweedy is also touring behind his solo album Twilight Override, with dates continuing through November.
