Bon Iver?

puppetmode · June 10, 2009

Is it just me who had never heard of Bon Iver?

I've had a listen but I don't hear why theyve got a headlining spot and 3RD on the Other stage.

Especially when you see Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bat For Lashes behind them

The next big thing or an Eavis favourite?

lot of exposure, one of the top few albums in just about every publication at the end of 2008. Big thing, definitely.

Yeah it's very a folksy sound.

Still. one less clash at the headline stage for me

The album and the EP are both great.

However his headlining slot at ATP was a bit disappointing - but maybe it was me being tired.

He had quite an epic sound though - quite post rock-y live I thought

I'm with you sister, I've heard of him/them but I've never heard anything they've/he's done.

Saying that I am over 30 and out of touch with the kids so I suppose it's unsurprising.

I think he masterbates listening to Joni Mitchell albums.

Would love to see him, but the Other Stage? Like a stadium gig basically, very odd.

I saw him in London in December and it was sublime... I'll defo be at the other stage but i'm a bit worried about the traffic between Other and Pyramid for Nick Cave...

His Album was my favorite of last year. Buy it, you won't regret it...

It is just beautiful, simpe music. Most of his songs have the same strumming pattern, yet they don't sound the same. His voice is beautiful too.

I was really hoping for a fleet foxes/bon iver double set, but bon iver twice is good cause if i miss one, i can catch the other.

However the Park headlining slot will suit him alot more than on the other stage in the daytime

when Ive seen him play it wasnt apparent that the sound would transfer to a stadium sized field that easily.

clashfinder indicates he will be clashing with nick cave which is a massive shame, as bon's is one of my favourite albums in recent memory, yet it would be foolish to miss either the boss or nick cave to see him

Probably a bit of both. As mentioned earlier he was in the top ten of many a critics list last year. I've seen him a few times and think he's great live, but not sure how it will transfer to the Other stage. Will most probably be the biggest crowd he's ever played to. I'll probably give him a miss though as I'm going to see him on the Tuesday after Glastonbury, and I'd rather go see Nick Cave, plus there's always a chance I might see him at the Park Stage the day before.

Listen to Creature fear and skinny love - belters!!

FakeEmpire · June 10, 2009

The album is ridiculously beautiful - one of the best things I have ever heard. A bit worried about how this is going to translate to a big open air stage though.

evansonuk · June 10, 2009

And he also plays a nickel resonator guitar - great sound !!

just unsure how it will be on a big stage

Quite simply I think he is amazing and I think I will have to give Nick cave a miss (Shock horror) to catch him before heading off to the Pyramid to catch Blur.
