Arcade Fire Announce Spring Tour
Just last night, Arcade Fire announced plans for a month-long spring tour starting on April 9th in Broomfield, Colorado. Including a three night stay in Chicago as well as a headlining spot at this year's Coachella Festival, the tour will take the Montreal band throughout the U.S. to their final show in New Orleans on May 6th for the New Orleans Jazz Festival.
The best bit of news to come from this announcement are the bands that will be backing up Arcade Fire on their tour. The National, Local Natives, Okkervil River, and Explosions in the Sky will be supporting the band across the States. Take a look after the jump to see which cities Arcade Fire will be playing at as well as the rest of their tour plans through to September.
