# What was announced
LCD Soundsystem announced a 12-show New York City residency running over three weekends this holiday season. The shows are split between Queens' Knockdown Center and Brooklyn Steel and include the band's 100th NYC residency performance.
# When and where
- Nov. 19–22 — Knockdown Center, Queens
- Nov. 30–Dec. 3 — Brooklyn Steel, Brooklyn (Nov. 30 is the 100th residency show)
- Dec. 10–13 — Knockdown Center, Queens
The band framed the Nov. 30 date as a "100th show blowout" with special guests and DJs promised on the announcement poster. For that night, LCD will donate 100% of ticket-sale proceeds to a charity that they will name later.

# The residency in context
LCD Soundsystem have staged annual year-end NYC residencies in recent years, running multi-night stints in the city since at least 2017. These runs typically include guest DJs, surprise appearances, and afterparties. The group is also scheduled to open for Harry Styles next year, a separate booking mentioned alongside the residency news.
# Al Doyle's solo announcement
Al Doyle, LCD Soundsystem guitarist and keyboardist, announced his debut solo album Hollywood Saviour, set for release Nov. 20 on DFA. The lead single "Hard Times In America" is available now and described as a "chipper tune about this bleak existence." Doyle provides a candid note about the record's origin and tone, saying in part:
He frames the album as straightforward pop-rock arrangements with guitars, bass, drums, synths, and drum machines, and describes it as a "thank you" to the musicians who influenced him.
# What to expect at the shows
The band's announcement poster and past residency patterns suggest a mix of live openers, guest appearances, DJ sets, and afterparties across the nights. The Nov. 30 show will be presented as a special philanthropic event with full proceeds donated.
