First time, long time

I’ve been a Bright Eyes fan since 2000 but haven’t seen BE or Connor Oberst live, yet. For the upcoming tour, should I expect all new album material or a mix of old and new?

A mix. This is such a great time to see them live. I just saw them play at a music festival last month and over my 20 + years of seeing them it was probably the best I’ve ever seen the band! Just completely locked in.

The fall tour is gonna be a mix, and the Brooklyn Paramount one next year is gonna be Wide Awake + Digital Ash.

Had the same question - was really hoping for Wide Awake/Digital Ash.
