Conor Oberst will mix things up when he returns to the road in 2027. The Bright Eyes visionary will embark on the Alleged Evening with Conor Oberst tour, his first solo headlining run since 2019, in February 2027, moving through the Midwest, South and West Coast and offering a mix of material from throughout this catalog.
For the outing, Oberst will focus on unique and unusual venues, including The Caverns, an underground venue in Pelham, TN; the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur; San Francisco’s Castro Theatre; McAllen, TX’s Cine El Rey; a converted Benedctine monastery chapel in Tucson; and two closing nights at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO, the haunted hotel that inspired The Shining and hosted Houdini at the peak of his career. Partnering with PLUS1 for the tour, Oberst will also direct $1 per ticket to support his nonprofit, the Poison Oak Project, and their work advancing equity for LGBTQ+ people, with a particular focus on supporting the trans community.
Before the trek, Bright Eyes will return to New York in January to perform at the Brooklyn Paramount, where they will run through the albums I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn in full. The group’s recent appearances at Queens, NY’s Forest Hills Stadium, where they were scheduled to play those three seminal LPs, were cut short due to weather.
In other news, this past September, Oberst and Shawn Foree’s debut short film, Invention 13, premiered at Los Angeles’s Beyond Fest. Invention 13 “takes place on a cold, windy night, when a frustrated pianist encounters strange obstacles while trying to learn Bach’s notoriously intricate ‘Invention.’” The film’s accompanying soundtrack was composed by Bright Eyes member Nathaniel Walcott.
