As promised, Wilco will be hitting the road this March for an international tour in support of the band's forthcoming concert DVD Ashes of American Flags. The excursion will see Jeff Tweedy and his band of merrymakers getting folked up across the Midwest and points South before hopping across the Atlantic for a string of shows in Spain.

If you can't make it to any of these dates, don't forget that they'll be playing at Bonnaroo and the 10,000 Lakes Festival. That, or you can look forward to that new album it feels like we've been talking about forever. It's now scheduled for June.
