ANNOUNCE SPECIAL SHOW AT ROYAL ALBERT HALL, LONDON ON WEDNESDAY 14 MAY 2025

Arcade Fire, one of the most influential bands of the past two decades, have today announced a special headline show at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday, 14 May 2025.

The only UK date in a run of intimate ‘Don’t Think About Pink Elephant’ gigs in select cities around the world to mark the release of new album Pink Elephant on 9 May, this one-off Royal Albert Hall show will see the band perform the new record in its entirety.

Today’s news follows the recent announcement that the band is back with brand new music, nearly three years after the release of their acclaimed album WE (2022). Composed of 10 new tracks, Pink Elephant is Arcade Fire’s seventh studio album, with the first single ‘Year of the Snake’ a joyous instant classic buoyed by the enveloping warmth of Régine Chassagne’s vocals, delivering the unique trademark sound of Arcade Fire. The song’s title refers to 2025 being the Lunar Year of the Snake, which represents a time for renewal, positive transformation, and new beginnings.

Ticket presales for Arcade Fire’s show at the Royal Albert Hall begin Wednesday, 23 April, with general sales starting Friday, 25 April at 10 AM local time. Tickets will be available at livenation.co.uk.
