Tour news: LCD Soundsystem residency, Five reunion

LCD Soundsystem have announced an eight-night residency at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.

The stint will take place from 12-15 & 19-22 June this year. The two Sunday dates (15 & 22 June) will be early shows, held from 5pm-9pm.

The New York-hailing group, who are represented in Europe by WME, previously completed a sold-out six-night run at the 4,921-cap venue in 2022.

In other tour news, all five members of multi-platinum-selling boy band Five – Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon – are reuniting for the first time in 2025 to embark on a 12-date UK arena outing this autumn.

“This has been a long time coming and it really does feel right for all of us now”

“This has been a long time coming and it really does feel right for all of us now – 25 years on and we’re so ready for it,” says Conlon. “Reconnecting as a five over the last year has been special and I know I speak for all the boys when I say we can’t wait to do this all over again.”

The tour, which is being promoted by AEG Presents and TEG Live Europe in association with CAA, will call at Brighton Centre (31 October), Bournemouth BIC (1 November), Utilita Arena Cardiff (2 November), Nottingham Motorpoint Arena (4 November), Liverpool M&S Bank Arena (5 November) and Manchester AO Arena (7 November).

It will then visit Leeds’ First Direct Arena (8 November), Utilita Arena Birmingham (9 November), The O2 in London ((11 November), Newcastle’s Utilita Arena (14 November), Aberdeen P&J Live (15 November) and OVO Hydro Glasgow (16 November).

The group toured the UK, US, Europe, South America, Australia and Asia in their original 1997-2001 run. They also played arenas as a four-piece, without Brown, as part of the Big Reunion Tour, a spin-off from the ITV documentary series The Big Reunion.
