Conor Oberst Announces First Solo Tour in Eight Years, Featuring a Cave and a Haunted Hotel

Conor Oberst has announced a massive 2027 North American tour, marking his first solo headlining trek in eight years. The tour, titled “An Alleged Evening With Conor Oberst,” will span 49 dates across the West Coast, Midwest, and South.

The journey is set to kick off on Feb. 19 at Liberty Hall in Lawrence, Kansas, and will conclude with two special nights on May 14 and 15 at the iconic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. While there are currently no northeast dates on the itinerary, Oberst’s team has indicated that more shows are expected to be announced in the coming months.

While the singer-songwriter will predominantly perform at traditional theaters, the tour features several highly unique and atmospheric venues. Notable stops include The Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee—a literal underground cave—on March 19, and La Rosa, a converted Benedictine monastery in Tucson, Arizona, on April 22. The tour’s closing nights at the Stanley Hotel, famously known as the haunted hotel that inspired Stephen King’s The Shining, promise an unforgettable experience.

Tickets for all shows will go on sale on Friday, Nov. 13, starting at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can find full details and purchase tickets on Oberst’s official website.

This upcoming tour marks Oberst’s first solo headlining run since 2019, when he was promoting his solo album Salutations. Since then, he has focused on residency-style shows in 2024 and various performances with his band, Bright Eyes.

Before Oberst embarks on his solo journey, Bright Eyes is scheduled to play three special shows at the Brooklyn Paramount on Jan. 11, 12, and 14. At these shows, the band will perform their classic albums I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn in their entirety.
