Wilco and Billy Bragg have announced they will perform their collaborative 1998 and 2000 Mermaid Avenue albums in full for the first time at Wilco's own Solid Sound festival on Friday, June 26th. The "Mermaid Avenue Live" performance - featuring Wilco and Bragg's recordings set to the unpublished lyrics of Woody Guthrie - will open the festival, which is set to take place at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts, from June 26th to June 28th, 2026. Three-day passes are available here.

Captured on these tracks are not just his original songs, but also the sounds of his then-toddlers, doors creaking open, and unplanned commentary from the musician.
