Bon Iver 2017

[Tuna]

Couldn't get any tickets at all. The Roundhouse queueing system failed me so bad - on both days.

[sheffieldlady]

Managed to get tickets for Blackpool. Lovely venue is the Empress Rooms!

[Vanderlyle]

Yep. I got screwed again by ROundhouse system.

Pity. Hopefully some other route to tickets comes up....

 

[Tuna]

Update: now going to the Apollo instead. I quite like the Apollo anyway, slanty floors and all. Feeling quite confident they'll add another Roundhouse date, but not confident enough to not buy tickets for the Apollo.

[TomViolence]

That was soo painful. Finally got Standing for Apollo on the Monday. Literally 5 minutes ago so it's worth still trying

[justanothername]

I got tickets for Blackpool this morning. Looking forward to it

[Cieran]

Got tickets for the Blackpool show!

[Lucy92]

Managed to get standing tickets for the Monday show. Wanted the Sunday as that's the boys birthday but so happy I managed to get tickets!!! I got screwed over with the presale so just happy I managed to get something!

[Guy Incognito]

Have a feeling these are gonna be very very good shows. Can't wait.

[Amy Lawn]

Got Blackpool tickets on Gigsandtours!

Albums streaming. Out tomorrow.

Been listening to it for a few weeks and I'm a little bit underwhelmed. It's fine and there are a few proper good ones on there, and I like the new direction he's looking in but I thought it'd grow on me as a whole and hook me like the previous ones and it hasn't quite, sadly. What are you guys thinking at this point?

I think it's great. Not sure where I'd rank it with his other two, but there are some songs on there that I'd put amongst his best (haven't learnt all the numbers/weird song titles as of yet so can't be more specific)

I'm really enjoying it! have given it quite a few listens since it leaked and I think its excellent. Was slightly apprehensive when the first couple tracks were released but I've found it far more immediate than i thought I would. Really like how he has managed to fuse together his new sound with his previous/original style.

[TomViolence]

Listened to it a few times last week and really liked it! Looking forward to giving it more time when my copy arrives tomorrow.

Also, can't wait to see '33 God' live as the version at Eaux Claires is ace!

I'm feeling similar about it at the moment. Like yourself I like the new direction but some of the songs just aren't working for me yet. When it comes off like 8 (circle) and 10 deathbreast (not even going to try to type that one out properly) it's fantastic but there's others which just don't do anything for me. At the moment I think it's a good album but maybe not quite as good as I'd hoped.

[Mash011]

Personally I think it's my AOTY. Absolutely adore it - looking forward to hearing it in better quality!

[Lucy92]

After hearing the new album I really hope Bon iver will be at Glastonbury. Would be a perfect set there! 

[stocky3000]

simply a masterpiece, I do think he deserves the other headline slot even if that means I have to miss him for someone (got roundhouse tickets luckily)

[AdamWillingham]

subbing radiohead please 

[T-Mouse]

Its a stunning triumph. February will be something special. 

[TiZuff]

other stage headliner at night? west holts? would be pretty amazing. love the new album

[SwedgeAntilles]

Glad I held off listening until it was probably released, really enjoying it. Not as instantly accessible as the last album but I can see it being a grower.

won't be West Holts as they're just not the right type of act, but Other or even JP headline i could see

[Fred Zepplin]

I think its an album that will grow on me but I won't be listening to it on vinyl, £24 for 34 minutes of music, no thanks
