Two of modern rock’s biggest buzz bands, Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem, will spend time on the road together this fall. Arcade Fire will headline the extended outing, which is scheduled to kick off September 17 at Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheater.  Both Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem solidified their buzz-band status in 2007 thanks to well-received new releases, Neon Bible and Sound of Silver, respectively. As of press time, the groups’ only other confirmed joint date is an appearance at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl on September 20, though the tour is scheduled to last through early October. By sharing the stage, the indie-rock upstarts will be able to make the jump from clubs and theaters to outdoor amphitheaters and, perhaps, small indoor arenas. Several bands who grew out of the modern indie-rock movement, including the White Stripes and Muse, have recently graduated to arenas. 
 
Before its fall tour, Arcade Fire will tour Europe throughout the summer months and appear at the Austin City Limits festival from September 14-16. LCD Soundsystem will also spend time in Europe before returning to the states for an appearance at Lollapalooza on August 3.
