  • ahh…. what about Bon Iver???? Do you think he will be added?

  • The G-Man

    Not looking great at the moment. He is in the U.K. in July for Latitude and his current European tour dates finish mid-August. Highly unlikely he will fly back for one Irish date. Still it is only April and if you see the name popping up for festivals like Bestival at the end of August in the UK the higher the chance. At the moment no though 🙁
