Newly reformed post-hardcore legends At The Drive-In have confirmed the location of their special UK show today. As reported last week, the band opened up a ballot for fans to register for pre-sale tickets for a gig at an unknown time and place in the UK at some point in August. Today, At The Drive-In confirmed the show will take place on 28 August at London’s Brixton Academy on Twitter:

The special show at Brixton Academy will follow At The Drive-In’s performance at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festival, which runs the weekend before (24-26 August) – so it seems they’re cramming this gig in before leaving these shores, so it might well be the last chance UK fans get to see the seminal group.
