Wilco kicks off a summer tour on June 12 in Cincinnati.

With a still-untitled album slated for June 30 on Nonesuch, Wilco will be hitting the U.S. highways this summer beginning June 12 in Cincinnati. Many dates are going on sale today including the Los Angeles, Red Rocks, and Brooklyn shows. Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band will join as the opening act at several East Coast gigs while Grizzly Bear will open in Tucson.

While Wilco is a veteran act in larger markets, this summer sees the Chicago natives tapping into newer, off the beaten path places such as Jacksonville, Oregon; Stateline, Nevada; and Wilmington, Delaware including gigs at several minor league baseball parks.

The group is currently riding high with the number one DVD on the Billboard Music DVD chart. “Ashes of American Flags,” which culls live concert footage from early 2008, was released last weekend in conjunction with Record Store Day. The group signed copies at Knoxville, Tennessee’s Disc Exchange.

With the forthcoming set being one of the most anticipated releases of 2009, the group recently revealed they were collaborating with Feist on the new record () and have since confirmed the final track order.

This weekend they will play the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and is slated for a two week tour of Spain and Portugal, beginning on May 23.
