Yesterday, LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy shared an update on his record label DFA Records' 20th-anniversary party. The event, which was announced last month, is set to take place on Saturday, March 26 at the Knockdown Center in Queens, N.Y.

The party will celebrate two decades of success, jubilation and avant-garde sound from across the label including 2ManyDJs, Juan Maclean, Black Dice, Museum of Love, Peter Gordon & Love of Life Orchestra Live and more. Murphy also wrote in his statement almost every member of LCD Soundsystem would be in attendance, he wrote "(nancy? check, nick? tyler? pat? yup)."

In the statement Murphy went on to say they're releasing the last bit of tickets, "and that will be all of them." He closed his message by hinting a surprise ensemble of yore will kick off the night. He wrote: "so, if you want to come, you might want to get a ticket now. and if you're coming, come early and stay late. don't know how to say this without being annoying, but the very first band may be, um, an original line up 30 minute set of old people playing their oldest music as a five piece for the first time since, i don't know, 2005? 2006?"
