UPDATE: Of Montreal tickets will go on sale on Feb. 19.

April is shaping up to be a busy month for concerts, especially for the Fillmore Miami Beach.

British rockers Arctic Monkeys (pictured at right) lead off the month with a show at the South Beach venue on April 1, while psychedelic/glam band Of Montreal come in on April 9, blues pounders Black Keys arrive on April 18 and indie heroes Band of Horses play on Aug. 28.

Arctic Monkeys, who arrived on the music scene with Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not to massive hype, backlash and finally respect, will open their American leg of their world tour at the Fillmore. They are touring in support of their third album, Humbug, and exemplify their tireless work ethic with their travel plans: The Fillmore show comes just five days after a show at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Of Montreal, which furthered its reputation as an incredibly inventive, wild live act on its last tour, will likely be introducing songs from the upcoming LP False Priest.

Black Keys is also releasing a new album this year. The band reconvened after guitarist Dan Auerbach’s well-received solo album Keep It Hid and subsequent live dates.

Band of Horses extended its tour into Florida to warm up for the New Orleans Jazzfest. There’s a new album in this band’s immediate future as well — last summer, lead singer Ben Bridwell referred to the band’s new LP, Night Rainbow, coming soon.

Pompano Beach also announced a show, as rap/pop act 3OH!3 and quick-rising pop-rockers Cobra Starship will play the Pompano Beach Amphitheater on June 8.

Tickets for Black Keys, Band of Horses and 3OH!3/Cobra Starship go on sale this weekend, while Arctic Monkeys and Of Montreal tickets are on sale on Feb. 19.
