“I haven’t felt much like being what I’ve been…So I thought it’d be cool to try to be Bob Dylan for a night.”

Bon Iver (Justin Vernon) will deliver his sole performance of 2026 at the festival he co-founded, Eaux Claires, which is also returning this year to Eau Claire, Wisconsin July 24 – 25 after an eight year hiatus. Vernon will mark the occasion by delivering a “Bon Dylan” tribute to Bob Dylan.
Vernon posted a video to social media announcing the Bon Dylan set. The visual is backdropped by Bon Iver’s take on Dylan’s “Not Dark Yet” with a voiceover detailing how the tribute to the Nobel Laureate came about:
Bon Dylan will perform as Bob Dylan circa 1994. Vernon and his bandmates will perform songs from every era of Dylan’s illustrious career.
Joining Vernon in Bon Dylan are friends and collaborators JT Bates, JP Brooks, Camaja Byrd, Sean Carey, Phil Cook, Ben Lester, Michael Lewis, Katira Lutterman, John Pieter, Courtland Pickens and Jeremy Ylvisaker. The Eaux Claires Festival will also see performances from Lil Yachty, Dijon, Aimee Mann, Kevin Morby and others.
