Bon Iver to Play Special Sunrise Concert at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery this September

Bon Iver announced that the band will perform for fans (and whatever zombies are lurking) in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, CA at dawn on Sunday, 9/27. Tickets are onsale now.

With all the clubs in LA he's playing a cemetery...At the very least, it's different. Will there be a comparable show done for east coasters at Woodlawn we wonder?

Bon Iver will perform a concert on Sunday, September 27th, 2009 as morning dawns over graves of silver screen legends at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.

The gates will open at midnight on Saturday night with the performance to commence at 6am on Sunday. Tickets are $25 and include a coffee and pastry breakfast. We encourage fans to bundle up (bring your blankets, too) and expect that various entertainment will be presented to them leading up to the big show.

Limited tickets are available here.

Hollywood Forever is located at 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard. Hollywood Forever Cemetery, in addition to being the beautiful resting place for hundreds of Hollywood's defining artists (including Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, Jayne Mansfield and the venerable Estelle Getty), is becoming a cultural center for the arts with a popular outdoor summer film series, the annual Dia de los Muertos festival and musical performances at Hollywood Forever's Masonic Lodge.

World Class Fad: Upcoming Shows of Note

Cool shows for the hot days this week....

-Tuesday, July 29


The Airborne Toxic Event @ DC9 ($10): I have already written a bunch about these guys but in case I didn't already say so, they put on a top-notch live show. With their Conan O'Brien appearance on Friday and all sorts of buzz before their debut record is even out (not till August 5th to exact), they're definitely a band on the cusp of huge. See them here at a small club like DC9 so you can say "I saw them when" as their next DC appearance will probably be at the 930 Club.

For readers in NYC, they are also playing the Mercury Lounge on Thursday, July 31 ($10).


Old 97s @ 930 Club (sold out): I first heard tracks from the 97s' newest record Blame it On Gravity at SXSW this year and I was definitely thrilled to hear an excellent return to form. If the music isn't enough to get you there, I got four words for you: Rhett Miller hip swing. Wowza...

Bon Iver @ Black Cat (sold out):
Man, can this guy turn a phrase, just makes me heart do some serious backflips in its tenderness. Just beautiful....

Earlimart @ Ottobar ($10): Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray provide another lovely gem in the form of Hymn and Her. If you love lush harmonies, smart lyrics, and lovely hooky quiet-ness (most of the time), be sure to check them out.
