Having just finished a victory lap of the country with Big Day Out, James Murphy has announced that LCD Soundsystem will play its swansong show in April. The band’s ‘last ever’ tour has brought them to these parts twice, with a spot at last year’s Splendour In The Grass preceding this summer jaunt. Now, though, the end is really in sight.

Needless to say, LCD will be going out with a bang. Here’s the word from the official website: “lcd soundsystem are playing madison square garden on april 2nd, and it will be our last show ever. we are retiring from the game. gettin’ out. movin’ on. but for just one more night, 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. and we’d like you to be there.”

In exchange for getting three glorious hours from Murphy and co., punters are asked to come dressed in white or black. As the post signs off: “If it’s a funeral, let’s have the best funeral ever!!!”

Australia farewelled LCD Soundsystem at the final Big Day Out stops in Perth and Adelaide over the weekend. Our shooters were there to bring you all the dazzling moments.
