On February 8, 2011, LCD Soundsystem announced on its website that it would be playing its last show on April 2 at [[Madison Square Garden]] in New York City. When tickets went on pre-sale and sale, there were widespread problems with availability and online ordering. Following the immediate sale of all available tickets, LCD Soundsystem announced that they would be playing four warm-up shows at New York's [[Terminal 5 (venue)|Terminal 5]]. The setlists at those shows were nearly identical to the setlist of the final show at Madison Square Garden. The final song performed at the farewell show was "[[Sound of Silver|New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down]]". The show lasted almost four hours with appearances by [[Arcade Fire]], [[Reggie Watts]] and others.
