Art rockers return

Topping nearly every best of the year list in 2004 with their debut album Funeral, Arcade Fire captured the ears of the indie rock press and kept them interested with their baroque rock and varied instrumentation. Hailing from Montreal in Canada, the seven-piece led by husband and wife team Win Butler and Régine Chassagne returned with Neon Bible in 2007 to more plaudits. The album which featured tracks such as Keep The Car Running and Black Mirror was recorded in a renovated church in Quebec, along with sessions in Budapest and one by the Hudson River in New York. They toured the album widely including an appearance at Glastonbury.

Arcade Fire's return to the UK this year will allow Reading and Leeds goers the chance to hear tracks from their latest release, The Suburbs. Already receiving positive reviews from critics, this album sees the band experiment more with electronic sounds. Expect a powerful display of indie Americana when they hit the Main stage to unveil their new material.
