Bon Iver has unveiled listening parties for his new album, ‘i,i’, taking place next month in stores across North America and the UK. See the full list of locations below.

Stores across North America, the UK and Paris will play host to listening parties on August 7 for Justin Vernon’s fourth studio album, which he announced last week. There will also be free, exclusive Bon Iver flexi-discs available at the listening events.


Six UK venues have been selected for ‘i,i’ events: Rough Trade East and Rough Trade West in London, Resident in Brighton, Assai Records in Edinburgh and Drift in Totnes.

Fans can secure entry for the London and Brighton parties by pre-ordering the album, which they will then be able to collect at the parties – getting access to ‘i,i’ more than three weeks before its official release date of August 30. Those who pre-order the album via Edinburgh’s Assai Records will even be able to enter a draw to win the record’s test pressing. Check out the list of listening parties and links to more info below.
