James Murphy and co will now play six dates at the O2 Academy Brixton to celebrate 20 years together as a band.

LCD Soundsystem have announced details of a London residency this summer, which will mark their first UK shows in four years.

The All My Friends outfit planned to celebrate 20 years since they performed in London with four dates at the O2 Academy Brixton.

Their run of dates in the south London venue were set to take place on 29th June and 1st-3rd July 2022.

Tickets went on sale from Friday 11th March at 10am from AEG Presents.

Now, due to demand, they've added two more dates at the venue on 27th and 28th of June, which are on sale now.
