About the event

Live Nation Presents 
Arkells 
Between Us Tour 
+ Phantom Planet 
Whether they’re rocking stadiums, making a beeline for the discotheque, or gathering around
the campfire, the implicit message of Arkells is always the same: everyone is welcome here.
Since the beginning, Arkells have never wavered in their mission to be the house band that
soundtracks the greatest nights of your life and emotional support in your darkest hours.
Thanks to their steady and eclectic ethos, Arkells have continued to evolve musically, while

making everyone feel right at home. As one of the most heavily rotated acts on radio, and all-
time record holders of the JUNO Award for “Group of the Year,” Arkells have extended their

reach beyond borders by infiltrating all corners of pop culture; from global sports telecasts and
top-tier video games to the stages of Coachella and Bonnaroo. The band’s longevity is
ultimately a function of their commitment to never coasting on past glories and to always live
completely in the moment. Even through their impressive history together, Arkells still
approach every gig as an opportunity to prove themselves to the unconverted; as they’re fond
of saying, each time they take the stage, “we understand the assignment.” The first rule of rock
‘n’ roll is to play every show like it’s your last—but as Arkells prove night after night, it’s just as
important to hold onto the unbridled energy and enthusiasm of your first. With their new
record, Between Us, the band achieves the impossible: how do we make our new songs feel like
the past and the future at the same time? It's 11 songs of their best songwriting to date,
produced by legendary producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Death Cab for Cutie, Wallows).
