Bon Iver Plays New Songs At All Points East, Announces North American Tour
Bon Iver, who closed All Points East Festival in London’s Victoria Park, June 2, played two new singles from an upcoming new project or album.
Frontman Justin Vernon didn’t perform the songs live, but played the two videos on the big screens after his performance.
The band’s agent, Rob Challice, told Pollstar that he was “so happy with the first two shows of this Bon Iver tour, Best Kept Secret and All Points East. Justin Vernon and co go from strength to strength with the live show. Looking forward to more Summer shows and further touring in 2020.”
Challice also confirmed the titles of the new songs, that fans have been speculating about: “Hey, Ma” and “U (Man Like)”.
Bon Iver’s upcoming summer concerts include festival gigs at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI, June 29, and Mad Cool Festival in Madrid, Spain, July 11. The band also returns to the U.S. later in the year.
The last day of All Points East also saw performances by John Grant, Mac DeMarco and more.
Over two weekends, between May 24 and June 2, All Points East also hosted headline sets from The Chemical Brothers, The Strokes, Christine & The Queens, Bring Me The Horizon & Mumfords & Sons.
Victoria Park also hosted free family friendly entertainment during the week, which included yoga, outdoor cinema, and children’s entertainment.
Monday morning, Bon Iver announced September-November tour dates in major venues incuding Chase Center in San Francisco, Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and The Anthem in Washington, D.C. Special guests on the tour leg include The Indigo Girls, Sharon Van Etten, Yo La Tengo, and Feist.
