Bon Dylan at Eaux Claires Festival 2026: A Creative Transformation

Bon Iver recently announced the return of the Eaux Claires Festival after an eight-year hiatus. A new addition to the 2026 lineup, Bon Dylan, has sparked curiosity among fans. Contrary to initial assumptions, Bon Dylan will not just be Bon Iver covering Bob Dylan songs. In a video shared by Justin Vernon, it was revealed that Bon Dylan will embody Bob Dylan circa 1994 and perform songs from various eras. The creative transformation aims to bring a unique experience to the festival.
Accompanied by a group of close friends and collaborators, Bon Dylan's performance will feature musicians such as JT Bates, JP Brooks, Camaja Byrd, and others. The festival, scheduled for July 24th and 25th at Carson Park, will also include performances by artists like Aimee Mann, Dijon, Daniel Caesar, and Lil Yachty. Additionally, the event will host Writers in Residence, including Michael Perry and Sheila Heti, who will engage in readings and discussions.
Eaux Claires promises a diverse program of activities and entertainment at Carson Park, with Eaux Claires Days offering special shows and events in Eau Claire. Tickets for the festival are now available through Ticketmaster, and local ticket presale access codes can be obtained from various locations in the area.
