LCD Soundsystem Announce 'Last Ever' Gig

LCD Soundsystem are set to retire following a gig in New York in April.

In a statement on their website, the band, fronted by James Murphy, said their gig at Madison Square Garden on April 2 would be “our last show ever”.

“We will be playing with friends and family for nearly 3 hours - playing stuff we’ve never played before and going out with a bang,” they said.

The statement went on to ask fans to turn up in all white, black or black and white, adding: “If it’s a funeral, let’s have the best funeral ever!!!”

Tickets go on sale on Friday (February 11).
