Thousands of Ice Cream Bars will be handed out on tour, including at the World's Largest Simultaneous Yo-Yo Record attempt with Wilco's Solid Sound Festival crowd (yes, with a Bar in hand). The fun continues with a Gopuff free Ice Cream Bar giveaway to 50,000 fans on the first official day of summer, Sunday, June 21.

But that's not all! In select cities, fans can look for hidden Golden Stick-ets for their chance to WIN free Ice Cream Bars for a year! Not nearby?
