After securing their first ever number one album in the UK, Arcade Fire have just announced plans for a winter tour of the country.

The Canadians are riding high on the success of their album 'The Suburbs' and they are set to hit the UK in December as part of a nationwide arena tour.

The five-date tour kicks off at the 02 Arena in London on Dec. 1 before wrapping up at Glasgow's SECC on Dec. 12.

As previously reported by Spinner, Arcade Fire recently closed the this year's Lollapalooza festival in Chicago -- and they're also booked to headline the Reading and Leeds festivals in the UK over the dates of Aug. 27 and Aug. 28.

They also recently were subject of a live webcast on YouTube of their show at New York's Madison Square Garden -- directed by Terry Gilliam -- confirming their place as one of the world's most in-demand bands.

Meanwhile, their full UK winter tour is as follows:

London O2 Arena (Dec. 1)
Birmingham LG Arena (Dec. 8)
Cardiff Arena (Dec. 9)
Manchester Central (Dec. 11)
Glasgow SECC (Dec. 12)
