Bon Iver Announces And Performs New Album “22, A Million”

Our long national nightmare is over. Five years after their second album Bon Iver, Bon Iver became a modern classic, Justin Vernon is finally ready to revive his ambitious collective. On Saturday, Vernon announced that Bon Iver's third studio album will be called 22, A Million and it'll be available on September 30. However, the lucky few who made it to Vernon's Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival this past weekend, were treated to quite the sneak peak.

Bon Iver played the album in its entirety, including the previously released tracks “22 (OVER S∞∞N)” and “10 d E A T h b R E a s T ⚄ ⚄.” Vernon also brought Chance The Rapper and Francis and The Lights on stage to perform their gorgeous collaboration "Friends." And, while any Chance appearance is cause for celebration, the night clearly belonged to Vernon, who despite keeping busy between albums, has had to deal with the scrutiny of fans desperate for more Bon Iver. 

Below, you'll find the entire performance and full track list. If you thought "Holocene" was hard to pronounce, you ain't seen nothing yet. Vernon also released the album's artwork, which was designed by Eric Timothy Carlson. In other words, this is really happening, folks.
