At last! Concrete Arcade Fire news! None of these nebulous album updates or apologies for Gap commercials, oh no--real live concert dates. Unfortunately for most of the world, those dates are all in London.

In a month and a half, the powerhouse Canadian collective will head to England for the first time since the fall of 2005. They will play five "very special" shows, according to their management.

More dates will be announced soon, as will details of the band's second album, due out in the spring.

Wake up, people! Arcade Fire are back!
