Rilo Kiley Ends 2025 Reunion Tour With UK Show, Waxahatchee Collaboration

Rilo Kiley, the Los Angeles indie-rock band, reunited for their 2025 reunion tour, performing their first extended run of shows since 2008. The tour culminated at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, where they brought out Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee, who had been their opening act on the West Coast leg, to perform the fan-favorite song "With Arms Outstretched" from their 2002 album The Execution Of All Things, with both artists trading verses in a memorable collaboration. This marked a special moment highlighting Crutchfield's admiration for Rilo Kiley, even sporting an Execution Of All Things shirt during the performance. The reunion tour, which began in May, included nearly 40 shows and is set to continue into 2026 with scheduled appearances such as the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona. Rilo Kiley's return to live performances, including their first UK show in 19 years at London's Roundhouse, has been met with enthusiasm, underlining the lasting impact of their music and the strong bond between the band and their fans. The collaboration with Waxahatchee further emphasized the cross-generational influence of Rilo Kiley's work and the emotional connection their music continues to foster.
