New April Shows For Bon Iver

What will Bon Iver do as an encore following its performance this past weekend on Saturday Night Live? How about some brand new U.S. dates?

Fronted by singer-songwriter Justin Vernon, the indie folk band begins its 2012 schedule by traveling Down Under for an Australian tour scheduled March 3-17. The new gigs are scheduled around Bon Iver’s appearances at Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif., April 14 and April 21.    

The first U.S. gig is set for April 12 at Las Vegas’ The Joint. The April tour includes stops in Davis, Calif., at the Freedom Hall at UC Davis April 17; San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium April 19; Santa Barbara, Calif., at the Santa Barbara Bowl April 22 and Tucson, Ariz., at the AVA Amphitheatre April 23.
