“LCD SOUNDSYSTEM: THE LONG GOODBYE;”
THREE-HOUR FAREWELL EXTRAVAGANZA APRIL 2 AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

LCD Soundsystem
It’s the end of an era as LCD Soundsystem confirmed an April 2 extravaganza at New York City’s Madison Square Garden that will be both its first time headlining the storied arena and the final LCD live show.

Billed as “LCD Soundsystem: The Long Goodbye,” this three-hour farewell performance will be the lengthiest most career-spanning set the band has ever played. Those attending can expect the return of long dormant deep cuts to the LCD setlist as well as the first (and last) live performances of a number of never-before-played music spanning LCD Soundsystem’s albums LCD Soundsystem, Sound of Silver, This is Happening, the acclaimed 45:33, and more.

“LCD Soundsystem: The Long Goodbye” will see James Murphy and company going out on their own terms. The show will see the LCD core live band of Murphy, Pat Mahoney, Nancy Whang, Al Doyle, Gavin Russom, Tyler Pope and Matt Thornley augmented by a choir, string and horn sections plus contributions and collaborations from both one-time-only special guests and many of the musicians with whom the band has worked over the years.

The members of LCD Soundsystem will be observing a black and white clothing only dress code for The Long Goodbye. They respectfully request that the audience do the same.

NYC post-rock pioneers Liquid Liquid will open the show. Further details and special guests will be announced as they are confirmed (or maybe they’ll just show up that night).

Tickets for “LCD Soundsystem: The Long Goodbye” will be on sale February 11 at bowerypresents.com and ticketmaster.com.
