The solo route begins in Kansas

US singer and songwriter Conor Oberst will resume solo touring in 2027 with An Alleged Evening With Conor Oberst. The first concert is scheduled for February 19 at Liberty Hall in Lawrence, Kansas. His last solo tour took place in 2019. The new itinerary extends through May, closing with consecutive performances at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, on May 14 and 15.[1], [2]

California dates include a library and a theatre

The western part of the tour includes The Bellwether in Los Angeles and The Castro Theatre in San Francisco. Another California stop is the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur. Oberst’s intervening solo performances were two four-night residencies in 2024, one in Los Angeles and the other in New York.[1]

Salutations remains his latest solo album

Oberst released Salutations, his most recent album under his own name, in 2017. He also fronts the band Bright Eyes, which issued the short record Kids Table in 2025. The band has separate January concerts at Brooklyn Paramount in New York, marking the 21st anniversary of I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. Those engagements precede the start of his solo route in Lawrence.[1]
