More Dates For M.I.A. & Arcade Fire

Hope you’re headed to California in the next few months because that’s where M.I.A. and Arcade Fire are going, thanks to the addition of extra stops on each of their respective tours. Both acts have ticket onsales scheduled this week for the new dates.

After closing out Coachella this past weekend, Arcade Fire returns to the road Wednesday for a gig at Denver’s Pepsi Center. As the indie rock band continues supporting 2013’s Reflektor, Win Butler & Co. have a handful of U.S. shows to take care of over the next few weeks before launching a European trek.

The new California dates include two nights at The Forum in Inglewood Aug. 1-2 and a gig in Chula Vista Aug. 5 at Sleep Train Amphitheatre. These shows are scheduled at the beginning of a North American summer excursion that launches in late July.

A VIP package presale is ongoing now, followed by an Arcade.com presale that begins Thursday, April 24 at 10 a.m. PDT. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, April 25 at 10 a.m. PDT. Visit ArcadeFire.com for more information.
