Well folks, it’s official now, Arcade Fire are playing MSG on August 4 at with label mates Spoon, not a bad double bill indeed. There is a gap of course between the MPP show and MSG, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a second New York show added (though I think a club gig is what we’re all hoping for). Tickets for the MSG show go on ArcadeFire.com presale tomorrow at 10AM (Wednesday, June 2) and regular on sale on June 12 at 9AM.
Arcade Fire has announced its first U.S. headline dates since 2007’s Neon Bible tour. Pre-Sales will go live at arcadefire.com tomorrow [Wed, June 2] at 10 AM EST for the following dates:
