Royal Festival Hall | South Bank SE1

Having only just released the delicate and beautifully nuanced solo effort that is Familial, Radiohead drummer Philip Selway will be taking to the spectacular Royal Festival Hall stage this September in support of veteran Chicago folksters and sometime collaborators, Wilco. With a career spanning over 15 years, multi-instrumentalist Jeff Tweedy and co’s back catalogue is as stylistically diverse as it is inspiring. In fact between them, Wilco and Selway possess an oeuvre that straddles and challenges every discernible genre typecast from “alt-country” to “experimental rock”, so tonight promises to be nothing less than a stunning operetta.
