Lovebox represents LCD Soundsystem’s first UK date since announcing their reunion earlier this year. The New York band will also be appearing at Coachella in America and Spanish festival Primavera.

“We’re not just playing Coachella. we’re playing all over. we’re not just having some reunion tour. we’re releasing a record (sometime this year—still working on it, actually), so this isn’t a victory lap or anything, which wouldn’t be of much interest to us).”
