Arcade Fire will play a show at London’s Earls Court venue in June next year.
The band announced the gig yesterday (November 20th) via a short YouTube video, and headline on June 6th 2014. The London concert arrives in between a long stretch of North American dates for the band which are due to continue until the August of next year.
They have been compelled to clarify their position on the attire which fans are being asked to wear at the gigs after those purchasing tickets from Ticketmaster were asked to, ‘Please wear formal attire or costume’. This has caused some to question the request, leading to a statement which reads:
“To everyone really upset about us asking people to dress up at our shows… please relax. It’s super not mandatory. It just makes for a more fun carnival when we are all in it together. So far these have been the best shows we have ever played. See you soon. Love, Arcade Fire.”
