Arcade Fire Tour, New Album Planned for 2017, According to Kickstarter Campaign

Arcade Fire's last album Reflektor and its coinciding tour may only seem like a recent memory, but it seems like Win Butler, Regine Chassagne and co. are gearing up for a new tour and album next year. In a Kickstarter campaign for Haitian charity Ghetto Biennales, Arcade Fire offered up two pairs of VIP tickets for their next world tour, with an expected delivery date of November 2017.

As fansite Arcade Fire Tube pointed out, Ghetto Biennales is putting together a catalogue and Arcade Fire offered up a meet-and-greet and VIP tickets to its next tour in exchange for a contribution of £750 or more. Though both of those rewards have been claimed, the big scoop is the estimated delivery date, November 2017, sparking rumors that the band's next tour will kick off next fall.

OH HELLO! Arcade Fire's next tour appears to be scheduled to start in November 2017. https://t.co/S9kem6vNwX pic.twitter.com/yhiuWamZnx

News of a pending Arcade Fire 2017 tour also seems to indicate that the band's fifth studio album will be released next year, not this year, breaking the band's every-three-years streak for album rollouts.

If indeed so the next album will almost certainly be ought next year as well, rather than late this year which some had thought/hoped. — Arcade Fire tube (@ArcadeFiretube) January 7, 2016

Arcade Fire's last album, Reflektor, was released in October 2013. The band toured extensively on the album throughout 2014. The band released a documentary, The Reflektor Tapes, and an extended version of Reflektor in August 2015. Arcade Fire is reportedly in the studio now working on the follow-up.
