The band, along with Olsen, were also recently announced as part of the line-up for next year’s Golden Plains Festival in Victoria. Tickets for the newly-announced Mona Foma shows will go on sale next Monday (October 24) at 9am.

Bon Iver was announced as the festival’s first act back in August. Justin Vernon and co. will perform in Hobart on February 21. Mona Foma’s full program will be announced on November 28.
