Wilco and Yo La Tengo Cut Loose in Queens

Wilco/Yo La Tengo – Forest Hills Stadium – June 20, 2026

Wilco have been around long enough that they can easily transform into different bands. Sometimes the Chicago six-piece are a band for theaters, other times for large rock clubs, amphitheaters or even arenas. On Saturday night, they were a full-fledge stadium band, feeling quite at home in the concrete horseshoe of Forest Hills Stadium. They chose an opener who also fit the bill, their longtime friends — and local heroes — Yo La Tengo, who ended their warm-up set by mutating into different bands themselves: the intimate bedroom pop of “Autumn Sweater,” the vicious guitar meltdown of “Tom Courtenay” and then closing with the sweetly quiet “Our Way to Fall.” 

Wilco took the stage still basked in the sunshine of a beautiful day, jumping into “Handshake Drugs,” John Stirratt’s bass sounding especially massive, creating space for Nels Cline’s open-air guitar shredding, the band melting into an extended drone outro. Frontman Jeff Tweedy’s voice fully at ease floating on a warm breeze on “If I ever Was a Child,” Glenn Kotche’s drums shuffling alongside. The marathon set drew from Wilco’s gargantuan 30-year catalog, expertly flowing from one era to another, the crowd of old heads and newer fans nothing but smiles across the stadium, even more so as Tweedy jokingly bantered about the Knicks between songs.

“Bird Without a Tail/Base of My Skull” was an early highlight, starting quiet with Tweedy’s image-invoking lyrics front and center, then opening into a fiery extended stadium-size double-guitar jam before bubbling back quiet to close. Hearing many of the well-worn Wilco tunes, it was apparent that Tweedy has benefited from the foresight of writing songs his 2026 self would have no trouble carrying. “Via Chicago” was quite strong, the sweet nostalgia of a hometown and travel alternating with gnarly guitar-drum sounds.

That kicked off perhaps the strongest stretch of the night, which went from “Via Chicago” to “Impossible Germany” with Cline’s six-minute guitar solo that told as much of a story as Tweedy’s lyrics, and the crowd favorite “Jesus, Etc.” When the sun finally went down and Forest Hills went dark, Wilco shifted into full stadium-rock mode with big bleacher-rattling takes on “Walken,” “Kingpin” and the set-closing “I’m the Man Who Loves You.”    

It wouldn't be a Wilco show without an extended encore, and the band returned to explore more of their catalog, highlighted by “California Stars,” the audience raising cell phones to create a wraparound starscape that earned Tweedy's approval. After “Falling Apart (Right Now),” the band left the stage again, but the show didn't feel quite over yet. Like any good veteran touring rock band, Wilco had held back a little “best for last” from the ecstatic Queens crowd. Three musicians returned to the stage, but it wasn’t Wilco at all — instead it was Yo La Tengo launching into one of their longer, stadium-ready rockers, the instrumental “I Heard You Looking.” 

As the trio built their fireball of sound, the headliners joined in piecemeal until the stage was filled with musicians throwing themselves headlong into the growing wall of sound, eventually reaching its peak and receding. Not to be outdone, Kotche and Stirrat flowed the jam right into their own build-to-peak “Spiders (Kidsmoke).” Cline and YLT guitarist Ira Kaplan mixed krautrock with free jazz on either side of the stage on top of a double-drummer rhythm. Another explosive peak and an audience participation on the tune's main riff finished things off before the show closed, an ending worthy of a tennis stadium in Forest Hills or any other sized venue you put them in. —A.

Watch Wilco Perform “Love Is Everywhere (Beware)” on Late Night with Seth Meyers - Ode to Joy Tour Continues This Month

Watch Wilco Perform “Love Is Everywhere (Beware)” on Late Night with Seth Meyers – Ode to Joy Tour Continues This Month

Last night, Wilco appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers to play “Love Is Everywhere (Beware)” off Ode to Joy, their new album released last month via dBpm Records. “Love Is Everywhere (Beware)” is “both an affirmation of love’s enduring power and a warning that it could be undermined at any moment” (NPR Music).

[theeverlastingshade]

Last week Wilco released “Love Is Everywhere (Beware)”, the first new single from their upcoming eleventh LP, Ode to Joy, their first since 2016’s Schmilco. “Love Is Everywhere (Beware)” continues the band’s streak on latter records of gorgeously rendered, understated songs that lean into the increasingly strong writing of Jeff Tweedy. The pace is unhurried, the band are playing with a tender precision, and Tweedy calmly delivers his lyrics just above a whisper. Over zigzagging electric leads wrapped delicately around acoustic guitar strums and lumbering percussion Tweedy acknowledges the current political climate, and tries to shed some light on the humanity that still very much exists “Right now, right now/Love is Everywhere”.

In a note sent to Bob Boilen on All Songs Considered Tweedy explained that the song is an attempt to encourage people to spread more love themselves without relying purely on faith that things will work out, and that cautious optimism is practically tangible in the bright, periodic flashes of electric guitar and Tweedy’s hushed, contemplative delivery. Although “Love Is Everywhere (Beware)” isn’t that far removed from much of the band’s latter output, the melody, sense of tension, and sentiments elevate it above most of the songs that Wilco have released this decade. Comfortable doesn’t always equate to complacency, and Wilco continue to prove why they’re one of the greatest examples of that in music today.
