The Unicorns, Spoon & Constantines Confirmed To Join Arcade Fire’s North American Tour
Fans with Arcade Fire tickets for the band’s second 2014 North American trek later this year are in for a treat after the Montreal outfit confirmed that they will be accompanied by a whole host of special guests for various shows.
The two-time Billboard chart-toppers will kick off another run of US and Canadian dates at Mountain View’s Shoreline Amphitheatre on July 30 – tickets for which are available on TicketIQ at a get-in price of $45 and an average price of $236 – and have managed to assemble an impressive and eclectic array of performers to act as support.
The recently reunited The Unicorns will be the first to share the stage, joining the tour for the two-night stint at Inglewood’s The Forum on August 1 ($52/$198) and 2 ($74/$192) as well as the three-night residency at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Aug 22 ($30/$156), 23 ($26/$201) and 24 ($41/$162).
Those with Arcade Fire tickets for the tour’s penultimate date at Toronto’s Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on Aug 29 ($79/$267) can enjoy a set from another newly-reformed Canadian indie-rock outfit, Constantines. While composer Owen Pallett, who teamed up with Arcade Fire’s William Butler on the Oscar-nominated score for Her, will play the Aug 4 gig at the Santa Barbara Bowl ($94/$188).
If that’s not enough, then avant-garde New England duo tUnE-yArDs will bring their unique blend of worldbeat, folk-pop and electronica to Edmonton’s Rexall Place on Aug 11 ($15/$170), Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome on Aug 12 ($46/$347) and Winnipeg’s MTS Centre on Aug 14. Austin art-rockers Spoon have been pencilled in for the shows at Chula Vista’s Sleep Train Amphitheatre on Aug 5 ($59/$164) and the tour closer at Montreal’s Parc-Jean Drapeau on Aug 30 ($50/$123). While experimental electronic producer Dan Deacon will warm up the crowds at over half of the 18 dates.
Alongside this stellar line-up of opening acts, those with Arcade Fire tickets should also look forward to hearing the majority of the band’s recent Billboard number one album, Reflektor, as well as the highlights from its Grammy-winning predecessor, The Suburbs, and their earlier releases Funeral and Neon Bible. While recent shows have featured cover versions of Ramones’ “I Don’t Wanna Go Down To The Basement,” The Louvin Brothers’ “Broad Minded” and The Rolling Stones’ “The Last Time.”
