Earlier this year, the band’s leader James Murphy said in a Facebook post that he was reluctant to take LCD Soundsystem back on the road for another massive tour. Its most recent studio album, “American Dream,” came out in 2017.
“We really wanted to stop living like that,” he wrote. “We talked about just playing some shows in New York, since most of us live here, and not making it too big of a deal. Like, just playing because we like it and because we like one another. Just be a New York band for a bit. And maybe we’ll do something like that every year. Just stay in shape, if that makes sense.”
But with LCD Soundsystem, which headlined San Francisco’s Outside Lands festival in2016, marking its 20th anniversary this year, he has clearly made some exceptions to the no-tour rule.
“We’re kind of celebrating, albeit in a more low-key way,” Murphy said.
