We’ve told you a lot about why you should go to the Solid Sound Festival, including the variety of bands, comedians and performers mixed with MASS MoCA’s fantastic artwork. But the main reason you should go: Wilco. Still don’t believe us? Head to the IFC Center this Tuesday, and they’ll make a believer out of you.

On Tuesday, July 20, at 8 p.m., the IFC Center is screening Ashes of American Flags, a concert film comprised of five performances from Wilco’s 2008 tour. The movie has a good mix of the old (“Via Chicago”) and the new (“You Are My Face”), and directors Christoph Green and Brendan Canty accurately show the band as one that’s happy to be on the road. And on top of their game.

One lucky viewer will win a pair of tickets to the Solid Sound Festival. Click here for more information.
