"Oh, it was about a year ago. Bob Dylan came through town. I went with my dad and about 16 of my friends. I've lived here for 44 years. And it's been too long to remember since the town felt that together. So we thought we'd better get the festival back going."
"I haven't felt much like being what I've been. Or been seen to have been. Or what I wanted to have been. Or what I've become. So I thought it'd be cool to try to be Bob Dylan for a night. I'm trying to turn Bon into Bob."
Bon Iver announced the return of the Eaux Claires Festival after eight years. The 2026 lineup features 'Bon Dylan', a performance by Bon Iver covering Bob Dylan songs.
