Oberst, backed by The Felice Brothers, begins the next leg of his US tour in California tonight, with shows in Grass Valley, Oakland, Los Angeles, and San Diego, this week. The tour continues through the summer with headlining shows and festival sets, from Austin to Omaha, Birmingham to Brooklyn, Boston, DC, and more, culminating in a set at the XPoNential Festival in Camden on July 28.

Oberst has partnered with Plus 1 so that $1 from every ticket sold on US headline dates will go to Planned Parenthood and their work delivering vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of women, men, and young people in the US and worldwide.

The band brings the music to Europe and the UK in August, then returns home for more North American dates in September. See below for all of the upcoming dates; for the complete tour, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Salutations, a companion piece to 2016's lauded Ruminations, was released in March to critical acclaim. The Sunday Express exclaims: “The results are quite simply sublime. This is songwriting of the very highest quality, Oberst’s lyrics rarely less than astonishing. Wonderful." The Independent gives the album a perfect five stars, calling it "probably the best work of the singer’s career."
