LCD Soundsystem will celebrate two decades together with a run of four "Platinum Anniversary" shows in London this summer. The dates, announced on Friday, will take place at O2 Academy Brixton and will mark 20 years since their first ever live shows which took place in London in 2002 at Arthur Baker's Return To New York and Erol Alkan's Trash club nights.

The group previously staged a residency at New York's Brooklyn Steele in 2021 and will play a run of shows at Boston's Roadrunner in April and Philadelphia's Franklin Music Hall later this month, too.
