Is an Arcade Fire tour on the way?

When can we expect to hear the follow-up to Reflektor?

It looks like Arcade Fire could be hitting the road soon, with the band donating tickets to help fund a festival. 

The band, who last year released the brilliant documentary movie The Reflektor Tapes, are currently said to be hard at work on album No.5. Now, we can get an idea of when we'd hope to hear it and when they may be touring again. 

Haitian festival Ghetto Biennale, which the band have played at three times, have launched a Kickstarter page to fund a catalogue of their history. For a £750 pledge, you can secure VIP Arcade Fire tickets to their next world tour. 

"They are pledging pairs of VIP tickets to Arcade Fire's world tour at your most convenient venue," reads the page. "You would get the best seats, invites to the after party and a meet and greet with the band."

It says that the tickets will be delivered by November 2017 - but we'd hope way before then. 

Speaking of progress on new material back in September, instrumentalist Will Butler told NME: "We're all itching to play music together and start recording things. We're basically in the demo and play together phase, and historically that's led to realising that, surprisingly, we're 30 per cent into a record, so we'll see if that happens."

Last year saw the band re-release Reflektor with five unheard songs
