Emerging after recording an album in a remote cabin in Wisconsin, Justin Vernon - the brains behind Bon Iver has been touring the globe, exercising his raspy and evocotive vocals to rousing reviews. His fully fledged band bring their folk rock to the biggest bill they've played in Europe. Expect new material as well as faves from 2007 debut For Emma, Forever Ago.

This man saved my life last year with his songs. In particular "If Winter Ends". It hit the spot. Mega at Glastonbury - saw him up at the Park. Soooo beautiful - all of them - I suppose Re: Stacks is about the highest of the high. Can't play them in company yet because I get too emotional. Thank you!!

this was the best performance of the whole festival, it was epic, i wasnt even there. i watched this at home, the look on justins face when he screamed at the end of the wolves at 27.42-47, makes me feel like crying, im lost for words when i keep watching that bit over and over again, its shows me that this guy is the real deal, i cant really describe how 27.44-47 makes me feel, he took over the whole crowd, they were waiting for the prodigy and were singing along to indie folk love songs, unbelievable, i hope bon iver come to BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND, one day, thanks bon iver for an amazing show...

I saw this and wasn't impressed while I was there. It was probably because I hadn't slept properly for 4 days and that the Glade was banging out Psy Trance. On watching it again I've changed my mind. The guy is a genius and the album is one the best I've heard in years.
Agreed about Wolves. Superb!!!!!

he was immense - but the bcc, as usual, missed the best performance. by concentrating on the boss they missed a magical, haunting sweeping set up at the park - i pity people thet were not there to see it.
thats not to deny how good this set was, but it pales next to the epic set the night before

I agree with the realmackay, I love you BBC but you missed the best set at the Park the night before. I felt so lucky to have watched this, it was the highlight of my glastonbury. I absolutely love Bon Iver and it was such a magical experience to watch their set on Saturday night, just beautiful.

I saw this set on the telly and loved it. I had Skinny Love stuck on the brain for days after. Really nice song and loved the gig. Let's hope that 2010 will be justas good as this year was!
