Bon Iver's Justin Vernon previously had some choice words for the Grammy Awards, but it's seems he's changing his tune -- or at least going along with the Recording Academy's stunning new commercial for his band.
Bon Iver, Beck, St. Vincent, The Shins, Feist and the newly announced solo project from Jack White will be featured at the Sasquatch! Music Festival.

Bon Iver may not be performing at the Grammys, but the indie-folk group will be performing for fans this spring. Fresh off their "Saturday Night Live" spot last week, Justin Vernon and co. have announced a short run of April tour dates surrounding Coachella. The eight-date tour kicks off April 12 in Las Vegas and finishes up at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 27, stopping throughout California and Arizona along the way.
