Bon Iver
Eric Timothy Carlson and Graham Tolbert*Bon Iver is returning to amphitheaters next spring. The band has announced a 23-date tour scheduled to launch on March 30 in Arizona.
Throughout the spring and summer, Bon Iver will play throughout North America including dates in Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, Houston and more. Upcoming venues include Forest Hills Stadium in New York City, Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, two nights at Austin’s Moody Amphitheater with support from Dijon and Bonny Light Horseman. Amphitheater dates will come to a close on June 25 at Rabbit Rabbit in Asheville, N.C.
The upcoming shows will feature the latest iteration of the Bon Iver live band: Justin Vernon, Sean Carey, Jenn Wasner, Mike Lewis, Matt McCaughan and Andy Fitzpatrick. This past weekend, the musicians performed together for the first time in nearly two years, honoring the 10th anniversary of Bon Iver, Bon Iver with two very special concerts at LA’s YouTube Theater.
Like previous tours, each date will highlight the work of different charitable partners, via Bon Iver’s own 2 A Billion campaign. The campaign aims to raise support, awareness, and person-to-person connections in an effort to end gender inequity, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.
Days before the amphitheater tour kicks off, Bon Iver will release Bon Iver, Bon Iver (10th Anniversary Edition) on March 25. The new edition will feature five songs from Justin Vernon and Sean Carey’s AIR Studios session, a blind embossed version of the original cover art and a personal essay from long-time fan Phoebe Bridgers.
Following the North American dates, Bon Iver will head to Europe for a 13-date arena tour that kicks off on Oct. 16 in Dublin.
An artist presale will begin Wednesday. General onsale for the spring and summer dates will start on Friday at 10am local time. Check out a full list of dates below.
Sade will not be attending their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this week.
The English group, made up of Sade Adu, Paul Denman, Stuart Matthewman, and Andrew Hale, are among this year's inductees into the prestigious institution. The ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles this Saturday.
However, a representative for Sade confirmed on Tuesday through the band's official website that none of the members would be attending the event.
"We're sorry that we won't be able to join everyone in person to celebrate alongside the other artists. However, our absence does not lessen how deeply this recognition means to us," they stated. "Being welcomed into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a wonderful honour and a meaningful opportunity to express our gratitude, not just to everyone who voted for us, but to every person who has made our music part of their lives."
The representative also acknowledged their manager Roger Davies for his support and paid tribute to the late engineer and co-producer Mike Pela, who passed away in 2022.
"We owe so much to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey," they continued, before signing the message: "Sade, Stuart, Andrew, and Paul. Mike Pela, the fifth member of Sade... This recognition belongs to you just as much as it does to us, Mike. You will always be our soul mate."
Sade will be joining Oasis among the artists missing this year's ceremony. Liam Gallagher previously addressed his absence in a message on X, saying the journey was "too far" for him to make just "for the night".
The other musicians being recognised at this weekend's ceremony include Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, the late Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan.
