September 29th I have a choice between 4 shows.

Arcade Fire
M.I.A.
Architecture In Helsinki
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings

As of now I'm leaning towards M.I.A. but I'm still pretty unsure. What do you guys recommend?

M.I.A.

MIA was pretty good when I saw her open for LCD Soundsystem. I must say LCD Soundsystem was much better, when comparing opening musician to the headliner. But anyways, I remember having a great time at the Arcade Fire show.
I don't know, I don't listen to either much anymore. But i'll tell you they are both fun to see if you haven't already. Pick whatever you're in the mood for.
I'm not much help i'm sorry.

I'd go Arcade Fire...

i want to see all of'em, but it looks like sharon jones tours non-stop (she's already been to VA two or three times this year) so i would suspect that she'd be back. i can't imagine MIA carrying an entire show herself. honestly if AIH was cheapest then i'd probably go to that to avoid the arcade fire crowd.

in short, fuck you and your showocoupia.

I have actually already seen the Arcade Fire once before and to avoid their crowd that would mean avoiding the Architecture in Helsinki show since it's at the same building. But thanks for all the tips.
