Includes a headlining date at Madison Square Garden in New York City with Spoon as the opener. Yeesh!
Arcade Fire has announced its first U.S. headline dates since 2007's
Neon Bible tour. At that time you could have seen them play the Judson Memorial Church at NYU, a venue that barely scrapes the surface in capacity. Now the AF gang are playing MSG, a venue that most indie artists aspire to play while opening for stadium bands. Spoon is opening. Dear lord, buy those tickets ASAP. Dates below. The band will donate $1 from every ticket sold to
Partners In Health, an organization helping impoverished communities around the world combat disease and poverty.
The Suburbs, the next LP from the band, is due out 8/3. Preorders are up now
on the band's website, and include immediate downloads of "The Suburbs" and "Month of May". -
