News came in this morning Arcade Fire are confirmed to headline The Hove Festival in Norway on July 2. This is the second date announced of course following yesterday's Oxegen confirmation.
I've just heard they will play Latitude festival in England, but no official word on that just yet. Stay tuned!
*Edit*
Turned out that the Latitude rumour was false. Arcade Fire will not be at Latitude this year.

Confirmed: Arcade Fire to headline Oxegen 2010
Here we go! The first show of the upcoming tour this summer was just announced. Arcade Fire will headline Oxegen Festival in Ireland, July 9 to 11. It's said they'll top the bill on the first night, July 9, but that is yet to be confirmed.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, March 12, at 8am (GMT).
My reaction to this was naturally a big 'Wooooaaaaahhh!!'. Mainly because the date is a lot earlier than expected. I know most Irish festival goers were hoping they'd play Electric Picnic instead though. The chances of that happening now seem very very slim at best.

Arcade Fire will indeed headline Oxegen on the Friday night, July 9.

Irish Times' Jim Carroll says the Oxegen deal includes a few shows at the O2 in Dublin later on.
