Grammy-winning indie folk band Bon Iver will take the stage at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday (August 7th), during her tour of battleground states. The rally, which will be held in frontman Justin Vernon's hometown of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, signifies the band's continued commitment to political engagement.

While Bon Iver has not explicitly endorsed Harris' presumptive Democratic nomination for president, they have expressed support for progressive causes through social media platforms. Most notably, they publicly backed Democrat Nick Butler's campaign for local Wisconsin government. This upcoming performance at the rally will further solidify the band's longstanding involvement in political activism, both locally and nationally.

Justin Vernon, the frontman of Bon Iver, has been an outspoken advocate for Senator Bernie Sanders in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns. He has performed at various rallies and fundraisers for Sanders, using his platform to rally support for the progressive candidate. Alongside these efforts, Vernon has also been actively involved in nonpartisan voter registration drives, including through the Eaux Claires Music Festival, which he co-founded with Aaron Dessner of The National.

The Wisconsin rally will mark the second stop on Kamala Harris' tour with her yet-to-be-announced running mate, following the launch in Philadelphia tomorrow. As a battleground state, Wisconsin holds significant importance in the upcoming election, making Bon Iver's participation in the rally a notable event for both fans of the band and Harris supporters.

Bon Iver's unique and introspective sound has resonated with audiences worldwide, earning them critical acclaim and a devoted following. With their ongoing dedication to social and political causes, their performance at the rally is eagerly anticipated as a powerful expression of support for Kamala Harris and the Democratic campaign.
