Arcade Fire to tour Australia

Mon 10th Dec, 2007 in Local News

Undoubtedly one of the most exciting tour announcements of December is the news that Arcade Fire will be performing sideshows adjunct to their Big Day Out appearances next year. The tour will mark the band’s first headlining Australian dates and is certain to sell out.

In case you’ve had your head buried in the sand or have been living in some kind of underground bunker for the last few years, here’s what Spin has to say about the band’s latest indie gem:

“Neither a timid repeat nor a knee-jerk departure, the bigger, bolder Neon Bible better captures what Arcade Fire achieve live: that sense of exhilarated careening born from the realization that cynicism’s opposite isn’t unremitting cheer, but stirring recognition and defiance”.

Tix for the Canadian seven piece’s tour will go on sale Dec 12.
