LCD Soundsystem will perform their last ever live show at New York’s Madison Square Garden on April 2, according to a post on the band’s official site.

The message in full:

good people of earth:
lcd soundsystem are playing madison square garden on april 2nd, and it will be our last show ever. we are retiring from the game. gettin’ out. movin’
on. but for just one more night, we will be playing with friends and family for nearly 3 hours–playing stuff we’ve never played before and going out with a bang. and we’d like you to be there.

if you would, we’d love it if people all came in white. or black. or black and white. and come ready to have fun, please. and come early, as the festivities will be opened by our favorites, liquid liquid. yes: liquid
liquid.

if it’s a funeral, let’s have the best funeral ever!!!

Even before the release of LCD’s third album, This Is Happening, James Murphy maintained that it would be there last, but until the above announcement the band have remained a going concern, at least in the live arena. Tickets for the “last show ever” go on general sale on Friday 11 February at bowerypresents.com and ticketmaster.com, but fans are advised to keep their eyes on the LCD site and Pitchfork all this week for pre-sale information.
