Bon Iver 2017

[TiZuff]

Listening to his performance at the NPR... wow. can only dream of seeing him at night on the farm. Interesting thing is, live, the new album sounds more like traditional bon iver... and its stunning.

oh and he plays beach baby in this set list!

The live version of Creature Fear is an absolute monster. What a performance. Headline up against Ed please!

so are we even certain Bon Iver isn't going to be busy at his own Eaux Claires Festival the weekend before?

While Justin is the part owner of the festival, pretty sure one of the Dessener brothers from The National also part own it too. The National didn't play last year, what about them playing instead of Bon Iver, I don't really know what else he can offer, he would have played three years in a row?

thanks for sharing this, the new tracks sound great! Really looking forward to the London show next year now, hoping for a slightly longer set with more stuff from the second album though.

People may say that about The Levellers and Beautiful Days.

Hmm yeah, but The National seem to be working on a record and could do a Bon Iver and play the album set at Eaux Claires. Leaves Justin to have a break, because by the looks of his recent sets, the 2017 festival set will almost be identical to the 2016 one!

[dentalplan]

Good point that. I'd always just assumed he was essentially confirmed for EC.

[Calvin Klein]

I need to have this confirmed!

Any reason why Bon Iver couldn't sub Ed Sheeran? Ed is a big fan of them and even has lyrics to Re: Stacks tattooed on him, could have requested them perhaps?

Because Bon Iver are good.

Joking of course, but I really don't think they'd fare well as a pyramid sub with the material that they're touring at the moment, especially not with Ed's crowd. But I didn't know about the tattoo thing - it could happen I guess.

[dentalplan]

No Bon Iver on the line up and while you're in traffic on the way home on Monday finding out Justin joined Ed Sheeran for a harmony of Skinny Love. #postglastoblues

Yeah I suppose you're right there, I'd hate Bon Iver to be wasted the same way Beck was on the Coldplay crowd.

also, managed to find this for you 

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'm sure there was info that Bon and the Lads were looking to headline festivals they were booked for this year, obviously not that case for Glastonbury but it makes them more likely to play last on the Other than subbing on the main stage 

[Brownie30]

European Tour has just been cancelled including all UK dates due to "personal reasons" on Bon Iver's twitter page right now...

Ah for fuxxake

[Mash011]

[baggienick68]

[zahidf]

[Calvin Klein]

sucks...

Gutted. Was really looking forward to it! Hope all is good though. Personal reasons could mean anything. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Yeah hope it's nothing major

Yeah this won't affect his later festival dates at all so I'd still expect him to be at Glastonbury

 

[Brownie30]

I too had Brixton tix and am absolutely gutted about this - the pro shot videos on YouTube show the current show to be incredibly special. Hope all is well with Justin and Co and that they are back soon. 

[Calvin Klein]

Yeah, good time to repost this.

 

Absolutely blown away by it.
