Arcade Fire To Play A "Secret Show" Next Week

That's the word on the street Scenestar readers! The Grammy Awards will be taking place in Los Angeles next week and one of our favorite bands, Arcade Fire, is in the hunt for a venue for an intimate show before their live, televised performance. It all started on Thursday, Feb. 3 at 10:56 a.m. when Arcade Fire agent, Scott Rodger, tweeted, "Where would be the best small venue in LA to do a really great show for Arcade Fire? Any ideas?".

From the looks of his Twitter responses to fans as of today, Coachella 2011 headliner Arcade Fire is still in the hunt for a place to play and looking for a unique 500 capacity venue to host the event. Will it be Eagle Rock Center for the Arts? Hollywood Forever? The Mondrian Hotel? Plaza De La Raza? The Satellite AKA Spaceland? Someone's rooftop in a Highland Park apartment complex? We wouldn't be surprised if most of those venues have been frantically contacting Scott Rodger for the chance to host this special event. We'll wait and keep our eyes peeled for you to see if this intimate Arcade Fire show does happen Scenestar readers!

UPDATE 2/07/2011: Info on the Arcade Fire "secret show" onsale will be announced within 48 hours. All ages, no bar, and "cheap" per Scott Rodger's Twitter
