To coincide with the album's release, the band has revealed its first Twin Cities date in three years this morning: Bon Iver will play the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis on Wednesday, September 7. Canadian singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards -- who also happens to be Justin Vernon's girlfriend -- will open, and tickets go on sale this Friday at noon.
Bon Iver's segments took up a large portion of last night's Colbert Report, and the band helped him kick off a week of musical performances that he's dubbed "Dr. Pepper Presents StePhest Colbchella '011: Rock You Like A Thirst-icane" that will also bring Florence and the Machine, Jack White, and Talib Kweli to the show this week.
Here's Colbert interviewing Justin Vernon:
