We can’t say we didn’t see it coming. In our cover story this month, Jared Followill mentioned M83 as one of the bands that he was listening to a lot before recording Only By The Night.

Now, Pitchfork reports the French electro-yearners will support KOL on all their European December dates. So that means then that M83 are the first band to play the new O2? Awesome.
