Arcade Fire are slated to perform on the February 24 episode of the American television show 'Saturday Night Live'.

Each week, 'Saturday Night Live' features a performance from a notable musical guest and a rotating celebrity host. Actor Rainn Wilson, who plays the nerdy Dwight Schrute character on the American version of 'The Office', will share the bill with Arcade Fire.

As previously reported, the Canadian indie rockers have been taking London and New York by storm with a series of shows supporting their forthcoming album, 'Neon Bible, which comes out on March 5 in the UK and a day later in the US.

The band are currently in the midst of a five-night run at New York City's Judson Memorial Church, and will head back to the UK early next month for a series of performances.
