American indie-folk darlings, Bon Iver, are heading to Australia for a string of shows in March 2012. But don’t be fooled by their hypnotising, laid-back tunes, these dudes work really hard. Along with one-off shows in Melbourne (March 8), Brisbane (March 15), Perth (March 3) and Adelaide (March 6), the band will appear across three consecutive nights at the Sydney Opera House (March 11,12,&13) and headline the dickhead-free Golden Plains Festival (March 10), who have also announced American psych rock legend Roky Erickson. So if you dig all that is folky, then pull up your hemp pants, brush your bushy beard, put down your bong, and get some tickets soon, as their sure to be snapped up quick. Details below…
