Arcade Fire kicks off fall world tour with Dublin concert

Canadian indie rock legends Arcade Fire have announced they will kick off their world tour on August 30th at Dublin’s 3Arena.

Following the massive acclaim of singles The Lightning I, II and Unconditional I, the band’s sixth album WE was released worldwide today.

The release of WE coincides with the announcement of Arcade Fire’s world tour.

Following surprise performances – including the Toulouse Theater in New Orleans, the Bowery Ballroom in New York, Coachella’s Mojave Tent and KOKO in London – the WE world tour will see the return of the live-act experience of the entire production of Arcade Fire bring to the global stages.

The tour kicks off in Dublin on Tuesday August 30th and runs through Toronto until December 1st.

The North American leg of the WE Tour – featuring very special guest Beck playing a nightly acoustic set – kicks off October 28th in Washington DC, while Europe is treated to special guest Feist.

Tickets for all dates go on sale to the public beginning Friday, May 13 at 10:00am local time.

Arcade Fire has partnered with PLUS1 so €1 per ticket goes to KANPE and their work to support Haiti’s most vulnerable communities.
