Are Arcade Fire releasing a new album in April? Speaking to Red Bull Poland, drummer Jeremy Gara said: "I don’t know where we’re going to play, I don’t know when we start, or when we finish. From my perspective, it looks like Arcade Fire starts in April and finish around April 2019.” He then added: "“All of [the songs] have been recorded. The album should come out this year. At this stage we are still mixing and trying to decide which songs will end up on the record, because we’ve recorded more than we need. But we’re almost finished. I don’t know when it’ll come out, I hope soon. I know we’re a popular band, but we always stick to the same rule; we record until we feel that the music is ready.”

A Perfect Circle have confirmed they are working on a new record that they plan to have out later this year.

Speaking to SiriusXM, Spoon confirmed that their new album will be called Hot Thoughts and will arrive in March.
