Posters have appeared announcing that The Reflektors will be appearing at The Blackpool Empress Ballroom on November 27 - pretty much certainly a gig as Arcade Fire under their new alias.
The posters were found in Liverpool, earlier today, and refer to a band called The Reflektors; which the Canadian band has adopted named after their new album.
See a tweeted picture of the poster below

A fan site to the band then tweeted:

The band seem to be up to their old tricks, as earlier in September they performed a secret show in their hometown Montreal, as well as surprising fans in Brooklyn at the start of this month, they've even performed live on The Colbert Report earlier this week - where the host Stephen Colbert both introduces and refers to them as The Reflektors.
Watch a full album teaser of Reflektor below. The audio is accompanied by an extract of the 1959, Black Orpheus.
Reflektor, the album will be out 28 October
