I imagine most UK promoters will keep a keen eye on how those dates go down before they take a risk on them - most of the folk I know who used to love Arcade Fire wouldn’t go see them now after everything that’s come out, simply because how they felt about the music was tied up in how they felt about the band, and that’s been irreparably damaged now.

Agree in principle; although I think most promoters will still snap them up if they play 1 or 2 UK shows under the banner of Funeral anniversary. The shows are probably already booked, just waiting to be announced.

Arcade Fire were/are my favourite band and I had totally blocked out the fact that Funeral would be 20 this year and they might do gigs like that. I would've sold my dog a few years back to see Funeral in full but I really don't know about it now. 
The atmosphere at the WE tour was so strange but that was partly down to the news coming out between tickets being bought and the shows taking place. Now anyone buying tickets either doesn't know, or it doesn't put them off. 
I can't see anything more than a London date for the UK regardless.
