Although officially sold out from primary ticket vendors, Bestival weekend tickets start trading at £190 on the secondary ticket market, with the cheapest currently listed on fan-to-fan ticket exchange website Viagogo. Tickets are also available from vendors such as Seatwave, GetMeIn and eBay.

Soon that last sentence will be in the past tense, for LCD Soundsystem are retiring at the very top – like Justine Henin or Michael Jordan or Sir Fred Goodwin. Before Murphy and co depart though, they will say goodbye to their fans in the UK with seven more live performances.

The first three are at festivals. They will play Reading and Leeds festival between August 27th – 29th 2010, and Bestival on the Isle Of Wight on September 12th 2010, but the band will also embark on a UK tour in November – co-headlining with celebrated electronic band Hot Chip.

LCD Soundsystem tickets are on sale now for the following live concerts:

November 10th 2010 – London Alexandra Palace
November 12th 2010 – Cardiff International Arena
November 13th 2010 – Sheffield Magna Arena
November 15th 2010 – Manchester Apollo

This may not actually be true. Instead it was a rather laboured way of saying that his time as an international rock star is coming to a close. Of course, there is a fair chance that he will continue to work in the world of production with the DFA, but as a live performer and recording artist, he is eyeing up the retirement home.

Whether the fans are ready for him to let go is another matter.

In fact, LCD Soundsystem are more popular than ever. In 2010, Murphy and co. played a massive UK tour, delighted a huge Glastonbury crowd, and headlined Wireless Festival. They will play to thousands more fans at Reading Festival, Leeds Festival and Bestival on the Isle Of Wight.

Still, such is the band’s following these days that they have had to announce another UK tour – which they will co-headline with UK dance act Hot Chip – and LCD Soundsystem tickets go on sale on Friday (July 23rd 2010) for the following dates:

November 10th 2010 – London Alexandra Palace
November 12th 2010 – Cardiff International Arena
November 13th 2010 – Sheffield Magna Arena
November 15th 2010 – Manchester Apollo

Some pre-sale tickets are available to a lucky few though…

Thankfully, they were proved mistaken.

Instead, LCD Soundsystem will embark on a joint headline tour of the UK in November with fellow electronic act Hot Chip – particularly famous for their songs Over And Over and Ready For The Floor. They will play songs from their excellent fourth album One Life Stand, and with multi-instrumentalist Al Doyle having toured live with LCD Soundsystem before, perhaps news of the joint tour ought to be little surprise. In fact, rumours are currently circulating that there will be a multitude of collaborations – with each group joining the other on stage for huge live versions of their songs.

LCD Soundsystem tickets are on sale now for the tour dates below – as well as their forthcoming appearances at Leeds and Reading Festival and Bestival:

November 10th 2010 – London Alexandra Palace
November 12th 2010 – Cardiff International Arena
November 13th 2010 – Sheffield Magna Arena
November 15th 2010 – Manchester Apollo

Each features exactly what it says on the tin. Saturday showcases some of the best-loved musicians from the 1980s, such as Billy Ocean and Hot Chocolate, while Sunday features massive modern names such as Westlife and Peter Andre.

Best of all, proceeds from Midlands Music Festival tickets go to a wonderful cause. The charity Just 1 Life aids mothers and babies affected by premature birth across the Midlands, and will benefit hugely thanks to the generosity of these pop stars. Day tickets begin at £29.50 from Gigantic, while weekend tickets will cost £50.
