Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and The National's Aaron Dessner have announced the lineup for their third annual Eaux Claires Music Festival, taking place June 16-17 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Chance the Rapper, Wilco (as well as Jeff Tweedy's side project Tweedy), Feist, Paul Simon (with yMusic), Danny Brown, Perfume Genius, and more are all set to play. Additional performers listed include “Bon Iver Presents John Prine and the American Songbook,” and “Big Red Machine,” a collaborative performance from Vernon and Dessner with special guests, based around their song of the same name, from the compilation Dark Was the Night.

Although the lineup has not been officially announced yet, minimalist booklets featuring the musical artists were mailed to people who had already ordered tickets. The delivery of a high-profile festival announcement by way of snail-mail is an exciting and unique method in the digital age. Eaux Claires loyalists were rewarded with an experience that surprised and delighted those who were proactive and bold enough to purchase their tickets before a standard festival lineup announcement. Eaux Claires followed this anachronism with cryptically worded social media posts:

A two-day showcase, Eaux Claires is a spotlight on contemporary alt-folk music, but Vernon and Dessner are nudging the talent toward their own post-hillbilly vision of experimentalism and protean art. At the core are Vernon and Dessner’s vast array of friends and collaborators, and the results of their process produce a lineup that feels expertly curated; it has steadily expanded to include indie-electronic, underground hip-hop, hipster metal, post-punk, and more, to coalesce with its atypical Dad-in-Patagonia jams for its third installment.

Aesthetically, Eaux Claires lives somewhere between a quaint Midwestern state fair and neo-hipster camping. Eau Claire, WI is two hours out from the Twin Cities, and just about three from Madison. Getting there means driving through long stretches of rolling hills dotted gently by ferns and wildflowers. Eaux Claires calls Foster Farm its home base, a rustic venue just outside of the town that also plays host to the Wisconsin Country Jam. Two main stages anchor the grounds; through a woodsy expanse at the top of a steep hill lay three smaller stages beneath aerodynamic white tarps. The isolated location allows the late-night sets to extend well into the darkness. Free water is abundant, people spend little time waiting in lines, and cheeses of all kinds and colors are definitely a featured attraction in the food bazaar.

At last year’s much-ballyhooed sophomore edition, Bon Iver premiered the entirety of 22, A Million, The National led an emotional salute to forefathers of jammy Americana, The Grateful Dead; Erykah Badu absolutely mesmerized with a fourteen song tour de force backed by an enormous band, and rising hip hop phenom Chance the Rapper dropped in unannounced during Francis and the Lights’ spirited set.

Eaux Claires takes place June 16-17, 2017 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, February 9, 2017.
