LCD Soundsystem have announced an impressive return to the UK with an eight-night residency at the O2 Academy Brixton, London this summer. The American electronic dance band – fronted by DJ and producer James Murphy – will take to the stage at the South London venue from Thursday June 12 until Sunday June 22, with Sunday shows set to begin early from 5-9pm.
Tickets go on general sale at 9:00am on Friday, March 7, available here.
The official show dates are:
Thursday, June 12
Friday, June 13
Saturday, June 14
Sunday, June 15
Thursday, June 19
Friday, June 20
Saturday, June 21
Sunday, June 22
The announcement follows a series of teasers broadcasted across London earlier this week; projections stating ‘You are here (again).’ were spotted across notable locations, including Shoreditch’s High Street Overground station. The phrase refers to the band’s ’You Are Here’ tour, a 2024 fall residency at the Knockdown Center, New York City.
LCD Soundsystem’s UK show dates have been highly anticipated for a while now; the band have previously sold out a six-night residency at the same music venue in 2022. Murphy and co. last performed on this side of the pond at last year’s Glastonbury and All Points East festivals. Now, fans can look forward to an extended set list from the band at an estimated 4500 capacity per night.
Murphy’s musical outfit are also set to embark on a US headline tour this spring, before making eagerly awaited appearances at both Primevera Sound, Barcelona and We Love Green, Paris festivals, June 4-8 and 6-8 respectively. In a press release for the former, the band revealed an up-coming album in 2025. This follows the release of new single ‘X-Ray Eyes’ late last year – the first taste of LCD Soundsystem’s forthcoming material. However, Murphy still leaves the official release date up to the imagination of the listeners, saying: “So there’s a new LCD song called ‘X-Ray Eyes’. It’s the first single of what’s shaping up to be a new LCD Soundsystem album. Don’t ask me when that is, because we are still working on it. But it feels very good to be putting out new music.”
In 2022, Murphy revealed the reasons behind the band’s preference for residencies over bigger shows via a lengthy Facebook post. He mentioned that this format suits the group better since they can prioritise recording new material. The frontman stated, “There’s a thing with tour, also, where you invest so much time, energy, and cost into “getting ready” that you wind up touring for ages just to make it worthwhile…[residencies] and maybe we’ll do something like that every year. Just stay in shape, if that makes sense. And just make records along the way.”
Known for alternative rock/electronic classics such as ‘Dance Yrself Clean’ (2010) and ‘All My Friends’ (2007), LCD Soundsystem is the creative outlet for frontman James Murphy, accompanied by his array of musicians, producing an entirely unique Grammy Award-winning sound. Forming in 2002, the band have released five studio albums to date via DFA Records (of which Murphy is co-founder), including the critically acclaimed self-titled debut LP in 2005. Their last album ‘American Dream’ (2017) received a nomination for Best Alternative Music Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, its featured single ‘Tonite’ winning Best Dance Recording, a remarkable quindecennial mark of their career.
