LCD Soundsystem

This event is General Admission Standing Room on the Floor, and Reserved Seated in the Balcony.

LCD Soundsystem exist at the point of a Venn diagram where the loose grooves of disco bump up against the wiry spikiness of post-punk, and their songs hover between sharp-edged humor and heartfelt emotion. Their M.O. was note-perfect from the begininng and when they debuted in 2002 with the hilarious, hipster-spoofing single “Losing My Edge," it set up the band and their label DFA, as the coolest things around. Driven by the vision of James Murphy, the band built on the dance floor impact of the song, releasing timeless singles like “Daft Punk is Playing at My House” and “Drunk Girls,” as well as albums like 2007’s Sound of Silver that put the band firmly at the head of the neo-disco class. Along the way, Murphy showed a surprisingly poignant side on songs like "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" which stuck a deeper emotional chord than their more up-tempo songs. The band also became a huge live draw, eventually selling out a farewell show at Madison Square Garden in 2011. The re-formed Soundsystem returned with the vintage-sounding American Dream in 2017, then sporadically returned to fill clubs and in 2022 cranked out “New Body Rhumba,” a dancefloor-filling single that had the same sharp edge as ever.
