Looks like the hubbub over Arcade Fire’s costume/formal wear request didn’t stop fans from buying tickets. Thanks to “overwhelming demand,” more dates have been added to the band’s “Reflektor Tour.”
Arcade Fire will be sticking around Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for a third night – Aug. 24.
The indie rockers have also added a second show in Toronto. After playing the Air Canada Centre March 13, the band returns to the city to play the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre Aug. 29.
And finally, a new date is on the books in Bangor, Maine, at Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion Aug. 20.
Tickets for all new shows go on sale Dec. 13.
One Direction is also dealing with “an overwhelming response for tickets.”
To make its adoring fans happy, the boy band’s “Where We Are” stadium tour now included second shows in East Rutherford, N.J., at MetLife Stadium (Aug. 5); Foxboro, Mass., at the Gillette Stadium (Aug. 8); Chicago’s Soldier Field (Aug. 30); and Pasadena, Calif., at the Rose Bowl (Sept. 13).
Last week the group added additional shows at Toronto’s Rogers Centre (Aug. 2) and Charlotte, N.C., at PNC Music Pavilion (Sept. 28).
Tickets for all new dates go on sale Dec. 7 at 10 a.m. local time. Presale tickets are available now.
