Bon Iver - New single and European Tour
10 September 08
Where do we start?! Bon Iver have had a sensational year and fortunately, it's showing little sign of letting up.
Fresh from appearing live on the Conan O'Brien Show last night, the band are getting on a jet plane to come back and tour Europe on a sold out tour. Starting tomorrow (11/9), when they headline London's Shepherds Bush Empire, the tour then heads around the UK before hitting Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, Belgium and Ireland. Click here for more information.
Coinciding with this tour is the single 'For Emma' (the title track from his stellar debut, For Emma, Forever Ago), and the sleeve you can see with this story is that of this single. Being made available as on 7" on Monday (15/9), the b-side, 'Wisconsin', is also not on the album. Click here for more information.
That's not all. Just when he's starting this tour, tickets are about to go on sale for a short run in Europe in December. See below...
Wednesday 3rd December - Dublin National Stadium, Eire
Saturday 6th December - Gent Vooruit, Belgium
Sunday 7th December - Apollo Victoria Theatre, London
Clicking on the name of the venue should take you through to where you can purchase tickets from. Tickets should be available from Friday the 12th but please check with the venue for further details.
Finally, worth mentioning also is an excellent and extensive feature on Bon Iver in the current issue of Mojo Magazine. Click here to see a gallery of photos as taken by Mattia Zoppellero of Justin at home in Eau Claire, Wisconsin for this feature.
