Bernie Sanders to Hold Iowa Caucus Concerts with Bon Iver and Vampire Weekend
Concerts’ VIP Sections Reserved for Top Canvassers, Exclusive Poster Designed by Molly Crabapple and Bernie 2020
DES MOINES -- Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign on Sunday announced it will hold two caucus concerts with a Bon Iver performance on January 31 and a Vampire Weekend acoustic performance on February 1.
At each concert, Sen. Sanders will speak to an audience of supporters and caucusgoers, with a VIP section reserved for volunteers who have knocked over 150 doors in Iowa.
“I believe, unequivocally, that all people deserve support, love, and the freedom to choose how to live their own lives,” said Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. “There are promises in our constitutional language that are being superseded by money and greed in this country; I believe that Senator Sanders is the only one that has the pedigree, the experience, the courage, and the undying spirit to begin to put these obstacles of freedom to rest.”
The Sanders campaign announced the shows with an exclusive concert poster, designed by artist and activist Molly Crabapple in collaboration with Bernie 2020.
