From the mouths of the prophets at Pitchfork:

Let the word go forth from this time and place that there will be a great congregation gathered upon the earth, that will meet in Paris, which is in France. For the hipsters shall come from the north and from the south, from the east and from the west, ten thousand beards times ten thousand, clothed in a raiment of red and white checked shirts and skinny jeans. And before them will stand a great stage, and upon the stage will sit Iver, that is called Bon, and they will play music, and all of the ills of the world will pass away.

I’m paraphasing. Read the full proclamation here.
