Arcade Fire Announce NYC Dates

Today at 5 PM we hit ArcadeFire.net and here's what we found: video of Lily Tomlin cursing out David O. Russel and a link to a page with the 10 coolest trees ever. We refreshed to double-check and it was just these specific NYC venues that were "TBA" last time dates were announced:

The Arcade Fire Reveal NYC Dates

The long-awaited New York appearances during The Arcade Fire’s North American tour have just been announced. On May 7 and 8, the band will perform at the United Palace at 175th and Broadway. On May 9, they’ll headline legendary Radio City Music Hall as the inaugural event of the David Bowie-curated High Line Festival. Tickets for all three shows will be available through TicketMaster beginning on Friday, March 30 at 10:00 AM.

Finally, a reason to get to work on time next Friday.

ps: If you want to blow of the rest of the workday, try Desktop Tower Defense.

I'm getting pretty sick of hearing about Arcade Fire all the time. Overhyped much?

I, on the other hand, welcome real Arcade Fire news like this. This tends to be how I learn about the bands I like coming to the city.

Anyone have any idea how expensive the Radio City dates will be?

If you think Arcade Fire is overhyped, you've never been to an Arcade Fire show.

Agree with Finchmeister 100%. Perhaps the best live band in the world right now.

European Tour Cut Short Due To Illness

The Arcade Fire have cancelled 9 dates on their current European Tour. Win Butler has been fighting a sinus infection since the beginning of this year and has simply been unable to get back to full health. With the constant demands on his voice from touring it has reached the stage today where he simply cannot sing......
