How’s that for an announcement?
Forbidden Fruit has gone from strength to strength over the last few years and absolutely nailed it in 2016 with acts like Tame Impala and Skepta on show.
Next summer, the Royal Kilmainham Hospital will play host to Bon Iver on Monday June 5th. The Skinny Love artist will be joined by Flying Lotus, Lisa Hannigan and The Staves.
However, not only is the Bon Iver headlining the weekend… Bon Iver aka Justin Vernon has also curated the entire line-up!
Needless to say, people are freaking the hell out on Twitter.
