Bon Iver 2017

[suzie sue]

As long as he isn’t announced before balance payment shouldn’t be a problem though 

[Yokel Again]

Can we move this to Glastonbury and have Bon Iver with FAK on before him on the Other Stage please!

Yeah it would cos there's probs Glasto goers who'll buy tickets if he's not on the lineup when it drops.

Really got into these in the last year or so, would love to see them at GF! Where are people thinking they'd be placed, much too big for JP headline I assume?

Pyramid sub or Other headliner - too big for any other slot really.

New Bon Iver. Imagine being told around the time of For Emma, Forever Ago that they’d end up making walk out music.

Pretty much ruled out. They are playing in WI on june 29th

Damn!

Heartbreaking ?

[jyoung]

The dream is dead.

[reflekting]

Oh no! This is terrible news. 

[jparx]

What an odd back and forth tour. Bit gutting but we've decided to go for Mad Cool or NOS so either way we'll catch 'em next summer. 

TBH I'd book them to headline in 2020. Their recent shows have been worthy of headlining any festival. Yes they're not "big enough" but who cares? The festival sells out 8 months in advance anyway and they would utterly smash it. 

[tevaburger]

pretty much rules out Ozzy as well...

Bon Iver joins Jason Aldean and Ozzy Osbourne as Summerfest headliners. For more Big Gig updates, stay tuned to OnMilwaukee.

I just don't get it with Bon Iver and Glastonbury though. He's in Europe late May into June, and comes back in July, and we know from his reaction in 2009 that he loves and appreciates Glastonbury's significance and he's made cameos with Kanye, The Staves, James Blake on back to back years... it just seemed that this year was finally the year he'd be back, I thought it was an absolute certainty.

It's the hope that kills you.

Bon is a very complicated fellow.

[tevaburger]

only hope now could be that he's doing the 11am Other opener on Friday before flying Heathrow to Chicago that afternoon, plenty of time to be in Milwaukee for Sat night...or I wouldn't put it above him to be a hidden surprise gem on Thursday somewhere, where you wake up and roam about Friday midday and start hearing the "Did you hear Bon Iver showed up last night at The Glade at xxx time?"

Aye. Thought it was nailed on the year after those guest appearances and then then the timing of the tour dates last year and next year 

Looks like I'm going to APE then.

I too will probly try to get to APE. If they do add Soup Can Stevens to that day, as I saw rumoured somewhere, then I'm definitely there no questions asked.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I probably will go to APE  myself, but will hold off for a bit... expensive time of year!

tbf, plenty of acts have played in Europe one night, and the US the next. very unlikely, but not beyond the realms of possibility he plays Friday night.

[FloorFiller]

I'd pretty much resigned to them not playing anyway due to how many other seemingly more likely contenders there were for Pyramid sub/Other headliner. Glad to have them ruled out early though rather than just not being on the lineup come it's release.

Two new songs ahead of (presumably) a new album this year. Let's hope they finally get around to playing again in 2020.
