According to LowCountry Music, Sports & More Beck will be performing at the Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend OR on Saturday May 27 2006. Tickets go on presale at Ticketmaster March 10 at 10 AM PST.
Is this the start of a real tour? Bend is pretty near where the Sasquatch Festival is (where Beck will be performing the next day), so maybe this is a one-off deal. I certainly hope he does a real tour though.
That “some shows with Radiohead” news from a few days ago seems to be meaning that they’re both hitting the summer festival circuit: Beck and Radiohead will both be playing the V Festival in the UK in August.
It looks like Beck is scheduled to play another festival now, besides the previously mentioned Bonnaroo in June. This one is May 26-28 in Washington state, and is the Sasquatch Festival. The lineup currently looks like this (pretty impressive, if you ask me!):

Beck is scheduled to play the Bonnaroo Festival this June.
Here is the link for the festival.
What this means about Beck doing a fuller tour around the US then, or if he’ll have an album to promote, or what, remains to be seen.
Still… always good to have some Beck-ness on the horizon.
