- Wilco will be inducted into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame on October 28, 2021.
In their over two-plus decades as a band, Wilco has won multiple Grammy Awards, released 11 studio albums, as well as a trio of acclaimed albums with Billy Bragg penning music to lyrics by Woody Guthrie. Led, as always by singer/songwriter Jeff Tweedy, the influential Chicago band have founded their own record label (dBpm Records) and festival (Solid Sound). Wilco continue to be regarded as a live powerhouse, as described by NPR, “To see Wilco on stage is to hear the best of the best.” Rolling Stone hails their most recent album, Ode to Joy, “Their best in years, a beautiful exercise in downhearted uplift,” while New York Magazine raved “[Ode to Joy] is Wilco’s best album in over a decade, and solid proof there’s room for bands to grow even when they’re already ten albums in.” Wilco has appeared on the ACL stage four times, in 2000, 2005, 2007 and 2012.

I remember I used to casually watch ACL back when I was a kid and then one day I caught Wilco's season 30th performance. It was definitely one of the most important music moments of my life. I remember not even knowing who wilco were at the time and getting my mind blow in such a way, just being overcome with an overwhelming amount of feelings and a need to try and create things and experiences that could move and connect with people as much as that performance did me.
Wilco is my favorite band, and ACL was my very first exposure to them. Playing "At Least That's What You Said", when the drums came in and the guitar distorts, blew my mind and I've been hooked since.
I named my cat after wilco. 15 years later he's still here and so are you. ❤️
I love Wilco! Been listening to them since Uncle Tupelo.
Yes, love Wilco for their approach to making music. I love the softer side as well as their rocking side with a huge sprinkle of experimentation! I also feel like Nels Cline brought the experimentation to new territory.
The best band in the u.s of a
Agree with you. I'm a brit and LOVE Wilco and the Tweedys to bits.
❤ WILCO WILL LOVE YOU BABY ❤
I fucken love Austin City Limits. PBS is the best television.
So perfectly said.
Took my son to the Traveling Newport Folk Festival outside Pittsburgh years ago. We both were stunned at the soulful intensity and uniqueness. Fans ever since.
I was one of the photographers at the Glastonbury Festival. First time I ever seen Wilco. Jeff! If we ever meet up. I have a extra Glastonbury Festival Poster. From that year.
Saw Wilco at an outdoor show in Fairbanks, Alaska probably a decade ago at this point, the best live performance I have ever witnessed.
Nice to see footage of Jay and Ken.
They should've let John speak once, at least. :)
Was there! Awesome night!
Inside America's greatest band.
I kept waiting and waiting for John to talk. it never happened.
Had the pleasure of seeing them play live in LA a couple weeks back. Another outstanding performance. One of the all time great American bands!
Saw them at the first ACL Fest the day after the secret show at the Parish for YHF. Then in '05. Then at the Season 30 show as well. Very big influence on my guitar playing for sure. You learn a lot as a musician listening to this band.
Awesome.
Jeff's younger son looks just like him here
❤️
Jay Bennett would be proud..
The coolest band in history... no one is more hip that Jeff Tweedy. The most over rated band in history. If it wasnt for the late Jay Bennet they would have fizzled out. 650k + units sold of YHF. The last 3 albums averaged 23K.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Utter shite pal
