Bon Iver will perform at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday (August 7) when her battleground states tour comes to Justin Vernon's hometown of Eau Claire. Advertising sign References. The Wisconsin rally will be the second stop on Harris' yet-to-be-announced tour, starting tomorrow in Philadelphia.
While Bon Iver hasn't addressed Harris' alleged Democratic run for president, the band has recently used social channels to support various progressive causes, including pledging support for Democrat Nick Butler's Wisconsin gubernatorial campaign. The rally performance will be the latest in the band's long history of political engagement, both locally and nationally. Vernon was a staunch supporter of Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020, playing at several rallies and fundraisers, and has promoted various nonpartisan voter registration drives through channels such as the Eaux Claires Music Festival he co-founded with National Aaron Dessner.
