Arcade Fire Neon Bible Tour Part III

[BoMac]

Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem Make Touring Team

The Arcade Fire has tapped LCD Soundsystem to open the fall leg of its North American tour, which begins Sept. 17 at Red Rocks outside Denver. The excursion's only other confirmed date is Sept. 20 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, though fans can expect the tour to run through early October with more perfomances to be announced later.

A pre-sale for tickets will be held via the band's Website June 20 through June 22. On-sale dates for the general public have yet to be determined.

As previously reported the Arcade Fire is also slated to perform at this year's Austin City Limits Festival, to be held Sept. 14-16. The eight-piece group is currently touring in Europe.

The Montreal-based rock group is hitting the road in support of its latest set, "Neon Bible" (Merge), which topped the Tastemakers, Top Rock, Digital, Internet and Independent albums charts in March and debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200.

LCD Soundsystem's latest DFA/Capitol album, "Sound of Silver," entered at No. 46 in April. The group, fronted by James Murphy, will be performing in Europe in June and July, then returning to the U.S. for Lollapalooza on Aug. 3.

"OH FUCK!"

Those were my exact words just now upon learning that LCD Soundsystem is opening for Arcade Fire.

3th July is getting closer and closer... I'm getting more and more excited about it! The setlist have been amazing and the reviews I see now and then are getting to me... I've been waiting for almost two years to see them, and now it's so close!!
Too bad I still have 3 exams until that day

 

[bono_man]

*bump*

Did anyone see them at Glastonbury?

Ive heard VERY good reports about their set. BBC were to show their entire show but for some reason only screened the first 6 songs!

I was gagging for that DVD!!

 

[annie_vox]

I'd love to see that concert! It's a shame they won't make a dvd

But if they have five songs that's better than nothing...

I'd say Arcade Fire is the top live act on the planet at the moment.

 

[Canadiens1131]

oh my god

 

[gareth brown]

Saw them at Glastonbury!!! One of the few bands I was really looking forward to seeing as I was yet to hear much and they were nothing short of inspiring!

When they opened with Black Mirror I was hooked immediately and I made it a priority to get Neon Bible and must say it's my favourite album of the year so far!!

 

[bono_man]

I cant believe we havent been able to see Power Out >> Rebellion from Glasto yet!

Fucking BBC!!

 

[xaviMF22]

I cant believe we havent been able to see Power Out >> Rebellion from Glasto yet!

when the sun goes down

 

[Canadiens1131]

Arctic Monkeys are solid, but I don't live in a concentrated hype pillbox (the UK) so I don't see how they get a superhero's welcome.

 

[gareth brown]

Hey we're an island cut us some slack!
But yeah I have to agree, I've always wondered how it is for you guys outside the UK.

Here they've been worshipped like gods ever since their first single came out and it's never wained! It's bizarre and I remember reading several articles from other countries reviewing either the albums or gigs and more or less saying "what's all the fuss about?"

I mean I like the music enough and their glastonbury set was great (despite the crap sound at the pyramid stage) but it's very strange how a certain band suddenly explode to that status within a year!

 

[annie_vox]

I'm speachless... Last night was something I cannot describe yet... Here's the setlist:


Black Mirror
No Cars Go
Haiti
(Antichrist Television Blues)
Intervention
Headlights Look Like Diamonds
The Well & The Lighthouse
Ocean of Noise
Tunnels
Rebellion (Lies)
Power Out
Keep The Car Running
Wake Up

It was a shame that they weren't the main act so they couldn't play more... I missed Laika But it was a show out of this world...

Tunnels -> Rebelion is a little too much for my heart...

 

[LMP]

Does anyone know where I can get a shirt that says Arcade Fi(RED)?

I saw someone with one at CityWalk one day, and I've wanted one since.
