Today, Conor announced his “Alleged Evening with Conor Oberst” tour, his first solo headlining tour since 2019. Shows kick off in February 2027, with stops throughout the Midwest, South, and West Coast, and consisting of extended evenings with him playing selections from his decades-spanning catalog. Conor will play 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 Benedictine 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. Expect the unexpected.
Tickets go on sale Friday, November 13 at 10am local time, with additional dates to come.
Conor has partnered with PLUS1 for the tour, with one dollar per ticket supporting his nonprofit, the Poison Oak Project, and their work advancing equity for LGBTQ+ people, with a particular focus on supporting the trans community.
Full tour dates are on the Shows page.
This past September, Conor 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.
Over the summer, Conor sat down with Joe Coscarelli and Jon Caramanica on The New York Times’ Popcast for a wide-ranging and career-spanning interview. Watch the full episode here.
