Despite sidewalks across campus stating “Bon Iver Live @ Zorn 4/3 8 p.m.” The hometown hero, Justin Vernon, and his Grammy award winning band will not take the stage of Zorn this weekend.

The message is just an April Fools’ Day prank, UW-Eau Claire Service Center employees said.

The band’s Eau Claire following proved to be strong Wednesday morning. By 9 a.m. the Service Center had many people stop by hoping to buy tickets, employees said.
