And on the eighth day, God created the Arcade Fire. At least, that's what the Neon Bible says. Now, those lovable scamps from Montreal will take the emoting and the shouting and the clapping of hands and the lobby busking and the "Guns of Brixton" covering on a massive North American tour proper.

After kicking off their five-night marathon run at NYC's Judson Memorial Church tomorrow night and jetsetting all over Europe with Patrick Wolf and Electrelane, the Aracde Fire return to the continent that spawned them in late April. Chicago, Toronto, New York, and Montreal receive multiple-night stands, while various East and West Coast cities catch Fire for one night apiece. Hope your Ticketmaster.com reloading fingers are extra itchy, people.
