Handsome Furs to Open for Arcade Fire

Handsome Furs to Open for Arcade Fire

The Arcade Fire have love for their homeland, and the Canadian quotient at their two previously reported Toronto shows just doubled with the addition of Handsome Furs as openers. Handsome Furs join the elite company of fellow AF openers the National, Electrelane and St. Vincent.

Thanks to reader Graham Thompson for the heads up!

The Montreal duo, which consists of Alexei Perry and Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner, have a few of their own previously reported dates as well. The shows with the Arcade Fire will start the tour.

Handsome Furs' debut, Plague Park, comes out May 22 via Sub Pop.
