Read More Rock the Garden The second Rock the Garden music festival on Sunday saw a seemingly bigger crowd, particularly near the front of the stage. … The Revolution Prince was a big deal. When he died unexpectedly, we were shocked and we talked about it for weeks... and we speculated that The Revolution will reunite. And they have! … Bon Iver Bon Iver is a Grammy award-winning American indie folk band founded in 2007 by singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. The band also includes Michael Noyce, Sean Carey, Colin Stetson and Matthew McCaughan amongst others. .…

ROCK THE GARDEN
at Walker Arts Center
Saturday 07/22/17 (1pm/$69/Sold Out)
rockthegardenfestival.com

Rock The Garden is back at the Walker Art Center (after relocating to Boom Island due to construction). This year it’s back to a one-day event... and it’s sold out.

One of this year’s headliners, The Revolution, re-formed after Prince’s death in 2016. They’re back, and if you couldn’t get tickets to RTG, you can try seeing them at First Avenue on Sunday.

The other headliner is Bon Iver (pronounced “bon-nee-ver”, taken from the French words “bon hiver”). We previously saw them in Los Angeles in October 2016 and wrote, “Bon Iver and his band opened with a myriad of hieroglyphics and light fixtures so psychedelic it was like Willy Wonka decided to go into the scary cave to meet a bunch of Egyptians. Seriously though, I’m pretty sure some people who expected a night of mellow acoustics forgot to check out Justin Vernon’s newest album, 22, A Million, his 3rd full-length record. A stark contrast from his chilling falsettos in For Emma, Forever Ago and my favorite Bon Iver, his voice became increasingly overshadowed by the band’s pressing indulgence into the stratosphere of autotuneness. Though the lyrics equally as heartfelt and beautiful, it’s a vastly different feel however I commend him for the drastic change...it shows how much he’s been through in the past 5 years.”

Lineup:

The Revolution
Bon Iver
Bruise Violet
Dead Man Winter
Margaret Glaspy
Car Seat Headrest
Benjamin Booker
Dwynell Roland
