Bright Eyes have announced their first show in more than nine years. The band will perform a reunion set at the End of the Road festival in Dorset, England, taking place September 3rd through 6th at Larmer Tree Gardens.
Earlier this month, the band teased their return with an Instagram account and new activity on their long-dormant Twitter handle, switching their bio to “#BrightEyes2020.” They’ve so far shared a teaser video as well as mysterious photos of city walls, but have yet to announce any new projects.
Bright Eyes — made up of Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nate Wolcott — announced their separation in 2011 following the release of their eighth album, The People’s Key, on Saddle Creek. Oberst has since gone on to release four solo albums in addition to his work in various side projects, including Better Oblivion Community Center with Phoebe Bridgers.
Other headliners at End of the Road this year include Pixies, King Krule, Angel Olsen, Big Thief, Richard Hawley, Little Simz, Aldous Harding, Whitney and The Comet Is Coming.
