Arcade Fire have announced a couple of (relatively) small UK shows this July

They’ll play London’s York Hall in the build up to that new album.

Arcade Fire have announced a pair of London shows for this summer.

The band, who are set to play Isle of Wight festival, as well as one off shows in Edinburgh and Scunthorpe (yes, Scunthorpe) next month, have now announced two dates at London’s York Hall on July 4th and 5th.

Building up to a much anticipated new album, it’ll be the first chance for the UK capital to hear what they’ve been working on. The venue has a capacity of only 1,200, meaning it’s relatively intimate, all considered.

Tickets for the shows go on sale tomorrow (31st May) at 9am.
