While no official recording dates have been announced, member Adrian Utley did speak about how the band would be writing new tunes will playing several gigs, something they previously have never done.

Thanks to a post on producer/instrumentalist Geoff Barrow’s Twitter page, the band announced they’ll be playing some shows next year with Arcade Fire, a band still out touring in support of their latest record The Suburbs.

“We’re doing some split headline shows with arcade fire next year,” Barrow said. “I’m really looking forward to it..proper band!!”
