The waiting is over. Massive indie dreamboats Bon Iver have announced their first EU/UK tour in years for January 2017 in support of upcoming album ’22, A Million’. Having kept to the bare minimum in terms of live shows (especially in Europe and the UK) since 2011, fans have been patiently waiting for this announcement, and now it’s finally happened.
The tour kicks off in Paris in January following the remaining US shows this autumn. The UK leg of the tour includes Blackpool and Edinburgh as well as two nights at the iconic London Roundhouse, plus one night at the Eventim Hammersmith Apollo, also in London. Support acts to be announced.
See below for full dates and venues.
