Arcade Fire wants fans to dive into their new album, The Suburbs. This highly anticipated follow-up to 2007’s Neon Bible marks their third studio effort.
The group invites fans around the world to tune in to a concert streamed live on YouTube from Madison Square Garden in New York City. Arcade Fire plays the Garden two nights in a row and the streamed concert will be broadcast on the second night, August 5.
The Suburbs will be released on August 2 in the UK and on August 3 in Canada and the States. The new album will feature eight different covers.
Arcade Fire headlines the Osheaga Festival in Montreal on July 31. There are tickets still available to attend this annual outdoor event. Weezer, Metric, Keane, Snoop Dogg and The Black Keys are some other big names on the ticket.
The group has more shows scheduled in the U.S. and plans a quick return to Canadian soil for one show in Toronto on August 14. After that, Arcade Fire plans to fly across the pond to headline the Reading and Leeds Festival in the UK. For more details on the tour schedule, visit their official website at www.arcadefire.com.
