The lineup for the upcoming Justin Vernon/Aaron Dessner-curated Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival has been slowly trickling out over the past week like melting ice from the Chippewa River (cue Bon Iver song). But today, the two-day fest—which takes place July 17-18 in Vernon’s hometown of Eau Claire, Wisconsin—released its full lineup via a five-minute YouTube video. As expected, Vernon’s Bon Iver and Dessner’s The National are playing, along with other acts like Spoon, Sufjan Stevens, Field Report, Sylvan Esso, Phox, and a whole lot more. Here’s a message from Vernon that was released today:
We at Eaux Claires have been driven by the idea that our festival would encourage music-genre-walls to melt away. That the barriers between the stage and the audience altered, and expression and experience put above all. We have put so much thought into who should collaborate at this festival, from musicians to actors, filmmakers to visual artists. We will all share and revel in this collision of artistic force while performing in the arms of our own Chippewa River Valley.
