The Staves to perform with Bon Iver on Asian tour

This year mark's Bon Iver's first time in Southeast Asia, and for their debut tour, they won't be coming alone.

The Staves, an indie folk trio from the UK, have announced that they will be opening for Bon Iver on all Asian dates, including Singapore. It hasn't been confirmed if the band will join Bon Iver at Wanderland Festival, alongside Death Cab for Cutie and The Naked and Famous. (UPDATE: Secret Sounds Asia has confirmed that while The Staves will be touring with Bon Iver, they will be performing as part of Bon Iver and not opening for the band. We apologise for the initial erroneous information.)

 

We are beyond thrilled to sing and play in our favourite band, Bon Iver , on this tour of Asia. So excited to go to all these places for the first time. See you there!

The band last released their album If I Was in 2015, which was produced by Bon Iver mastermind Justin Vernon. The trio, comprising of sisters, have been famed for their rich vocal harmonies and indelible folk instrumentation.
