The Wisconsin indie rockers return to these shores next spring.
Bon Iver will bring their brand new i,i live show to the UK next year.

Released on the 9 August 2019, i,i received critical praise on release with NME stating: “Bon Iver has pieced together this fourth album in an impossibly intelligent way”, in a 5/5 review.
The album was mostly recorded at Sonic Ranch in Texas by a core band including Sean Carey, Andrew Fitzpatrick, Mike Lewis, Matt McCaughan and Justin Vernon with Rob Moose and Jenn Wasner.
The record contains the Radio 1 and 6 Music playlisted singles Hey, Ma; U (Man Like), Jelmore, Faith and iMi.
i,i is Bon Iver’s fourth album, following on from their 2016 effort 22, A Million, 2011’s Grammy Award-winning Bon Iver, Bon Iver and their 2008 debut For Emma, Forever Ago.
Some of the Wisconsin-formed band’s most well-known tracks include Skinny Love, Blood Bank, Beth/Rest and Holocene.
