Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon has today revealed details of his upcoming turn as Bon Dylan at his own Eaux Claires Festival, taking place at the city’s Carson Park on July 24-25.
Backed by a band of friends and frequent collaborators – including JT Bates, Sean Carey and Phil Cook – for one night only, Vernon will perform as Bob Dylan circa 1994, doing songs from every era.
“I haven’t felt much like being what I’ve been,” says Vernon. “So I thought it’d be cool to try to be Bob Dylan for a night. I’m trying to turn Bon into Bob.”
Vernon explains more in the video below, soundtracked by Bon Dylan playing “Not Dark Yet” at a rehearsal in March:
Other artists playing Eaux Claires Festival 2026 include Dijon, Daniel Caesar, Lil Yachty, Aimee Mann, Kevin Morby, Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore, Hotline TNT and the equally intriguing Black Sabbath Cover Band Rehearsal. More details and tickets here.
