Bon Iver to Play Sunrise Show at Hollywood Forever Cemetery

In what will likely be the most memorable stop on his fall tour, Bon Iver will visit Los Angeles for a special performance at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery next month. Hosted by southern California's leading NPR affiliate KCRW, not only will this show take place amid the gravestones of "Hollywood's immortals," it will begin as the sun rises over the city. Cemetery gates open at midnight on Sunday, Sept. 27, and entertainment will be provided through the night until the 6 a.m. performance.

The $25 ticket price includes pastries and coffee, served as the sun peeks out and Justin Vernon greets the day with his haunting falsetto.

Oh, and he'll be playing some non-cemetery shows as well:
