The first headline act for Forbidden Fruit Festival has been announced

Bon Iver will be headlining and curating the line-up for an incredibly special evening of music on Monday, 5 June 2017, as part of Forbidden Fruit Festival.

The show will take place on the beautiful grounds of the Irish Museum Of Modern Art at The Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin.

Bon Iver, the musical project led by Justin Vernon, will headline Monday night of the vibrant city centre multi-stage music & arts festival with a 90 minute set. This will be the band’s first show in Ireland in over five years since selling out The O2 in late 2012.

Other acts being announced as part of this unique and curated bill will include Flying Lotus, Lisa Hannigan, The Staves, Gordi and Paul Thomas Saunders. More acts for the Monday bill – all of which is curated by Bon Iver – will be announced in the new year.

Coming soon.. #FF17
