Update: In an email, Penner said that the band has "no touring plans currently outside of those shows."

Back in February, we reported that the Unicorns were potentially gearing up for a reunion. Now, we can confirm it's happening. They'll open for Arcade Fire at five shows, along with Dan Deacon. Check out the dates below.

They've also launched a Twitter account, which you can presumably follow for all future updates, along with a Soundcloud page. Their first tweet is a photo of Unicorns members Alden Penner and Nick Thorburn.

Back in 2004, the Unicorns put out their final release, an EP titled 2014. (Foreshadowing?) Nick Thorburn formed Islands and dabbled in other projects, including Mister Heavenly and Human Highway. Alden Penner formed Clues and Hidden Words and recently released a solo album, Exegesis. Jamie Thompson was an on-and-off member of Islands.
