Artists: Arcade Fire

If you weren't one of the smug few who successfully secured a ticket to the recent Kings College, and ULU Arcade Fire gigs, you'll be pleased to hear our newest favourite Canadians have announced a five-date headlining UK tour:

May
4th Manchester MDH
5th Glasgow Debating Chamber
6th Birmingham Academy 2
8th Bristol Academy
9th London Astoria

If you haven't yet picked up their stellar debut full-length 'Funeral' yet, what are you waiting for? It came out this Monday and you should really own a copy. Seriously. Read DiS's verdict here

Wake up kids, thats soooo two days ago!

On the other hand - fucking yay!

Good Lord! It's An Arcade Fire UK Tour!

OHMAGOD!! This will be truly amazing... i've had the album on promo for a few weeks... IT IS A MUST HAVE! As are these gigs are a... MUST GO!

I like what I've heard of them but does anyone know what they're like as a live band?

Re: Good Lord! It's An Arcade Fire UK Tour!

Check out the KRCW website for a session, and the Pitchfork interview with them where they mentioned their live act. Its apparently very moving and improvises on the record somewhat. I can't wait, personally.

iv heard that they are much better live than on record ... which makes me sad that i can't get to these shows

more bands should travel to the northeast !

Good Lord! It's An Arcade Fire UK Tour!

they are ok? the singers voice gets very fucking annoying and chats alot of shit. i like the instruments though

Good Lord! It's An Arcade Fire UK Tour!

yes but us clever folk get to go to the superhip gig at kings college next tuesday. i think it'll probably be the hippest gig i've ever been to, and i'll probably be the unhippest person there. oh well should still be great.
anyone know the capacity of kings college? also i heard that the support might be the magic numbers, anyone got confirmation of that?

The Kings College gig was, imho, one of the best I have been to in the last couple of years (that include Interpol). They were fantastic. Real energy and presence, really tight and a real spectacle onstage. I urge you, see them while they're still playing small venues. Off to Astoria for me...

Does anyone know who the support are for tonight's Arcade Fire show at ULU?

Re: Good Lord! It's An Arcade Fire UK Tour!

It's Patrick Wolf. Oh yes.

I've been trying for ages to get a ticket for the GU Glasgow gig but its sold out. There are a bundle on sale on ebay but i feel i am fueling the bastard touts if i buy one. But then again if i dont im missing one of the gigs of the year.
