With The 1975 recently announcing a gig at Dublin's Malahide Castle, another major international band are said to be preparing to set up camp for a gig on the same weekend.

According to The Irish Times' On the Record blog, Arcade Fire will play the north Dublin venue on June 15th.

Bearing in mind that this has yet to be officially confirmed by promoters, it fits with their current tour schedule; they're pencilled in for the Isle of Wight on June 10th and then have a gap until they head to the Netherlands on June 17th.
