Arcade Fire reveal UK and Ireland outdoor gigs

Arcade Fire have announced outdoor UK and Ireland gigs in Belfast, Dublin and Manchester.

Time will be spent on either coast of the Irish Sea in June and July, with shows confirmed for Ormeau Park in Belfast on June 13th, Dublin’s Malahide Castle on the 14th and at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester on July 6th.

Meanwhile, last we heard from Arcade Fire their drummer Jeremy Gara was confirming the band’s next album has reached the ‘mixing stage’.

“I don’t know where we’re going to play, I don’t know when we start, or when we finish,” he told Red Bull Poland. “From my perspective, it looks like Arcade Fire starts in April and finish around April 2019.”

“All of the songs have been recorded. The album should come out this year. At this stage we are still mixing and trying to decide which songs will end up on the record, because we’ve recorded more than we need. But we’re almost finished. I don’t know when it’ll come out, I hope soon.”
