Who is arcade fire touring with

The venue is a bit smaller then the places they usually play so the show was a bit more intimate. I was in the Pit right at the gate where the band entered the stage area and also used by Win and Regine to come onto the crowd and sing songs like Sprawl and We don't deserve love. I got to pat Win on his back, and give Regine a high five. It was kinda of funny to see myself on the jumbotron. The band played two of my favorite songs, Suburban War and Roccoco.

I have not heard them play Suburban War so this really made the show extremely special to me. Also Will fell down and sprained his ankle but kept on playing his drum. The ticket prices are well worth it. They are truly great! Official Site Twitter Facebook. The National. Everything Everything. The Libertines. The Wombats. Maximo Park. Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Wild Beasts. Mon 11th Mar Arcade Fire have released a new song. Glastonbury Glastonbury Festival. Let me tell you, this is something so majestic, so empowering yet humbling, so down to earth, it doesn't deserve to be written about.

You need to experience it. All that was left for me to say after the show was that Arcade Fire truly deserve their reputation for being perhaps the best performers out there today. Read more. Report as inappropriate. Such was the reaction of the gentleman behind me after my first Arcade Fire gig, at Manchester Academy in , and I certainly wouldn't disagree. Back then, the most successful alumni of the mid-Noughties golden age of Canadian music really were stereotypical art-school types, all embroidered blazers and harps and stilted, awkward banter.

The cacophonous, punky "Laika", with Richard Reed Parry using every hittable object on stage as an impromptu drum kit. And "In The Backseat", a song that rendered a strong audience utterly mute, and concluded with the audience spontaneously carrying on its closing refrain for two full minutes after the band had left the stage. It was exhilarating. It was revelatory. It was sublime. Since then, I've seen them in churches and stadiums and muddy fields and on one memorable occasion, a BBC studio.

I've seen their sound change and evolve with each album the disco influenced "Reflektor" is a whole different beast to the stripped back Americana of "The Suburbs", which in turn is a massive shift from the dense and ostentatious "Neon Bible", not to mention the rough-edged beauty of "Funeral". I've seen their audiences grow bigger each tour, not to mention their collection of industry awards.

Arcade Fire at the Forum was an amazing experience. This was my first time seeing them live and I think they were meant to play big venues. Seeing as this was a part of their "Reflektor Tour" I thought this was going to be mostly new songs, but they made sure to play a wide range of songs, even a few from Neon Bible, which surprised me.

I knew it was going to be a good show when the announcer came out to introduce the band in a full mirrored disco ball suit and the band opened with Reflektor, making sure anyone who had just recently heard of them would get into the show. But for each of the songs from their newest album had little fun tidbits like guys in high heels vogue dancing to "We Exist" and Regine appearing on the secondary stage in the middle of the crowd for "It's Never Over.

It was definitely a dazzling spectacle. There were a few other strange tidbits like having "The Reflektors" play Rage Against the Machine before Arcade Fire came back out for their encore as well as dedicating a song to Axl Rose. All in all the night was amazing and came to a very climactic end when the whole stadium echoed with the audience singing "Wake Up" at the top of their lungs. It was probably one of the best concert experiences I have ever had.

In summation, if you want to see something very different and have stories to tell for years to come, I would highly recommend seeing Arcade Fire live. They were born to play stadium shows and I think they will only be playing bigger and bigger venues from now on.

Arcade Fire was absolutely amazing. Half an hour before the doors opened, a tour guide recruited me to dance for them and she took me backstage. I saw Regine Chassagne in a hallway and I said Hi and she was a little surprised but said Hello back.

Then I got to put on a Regine bobblehead and opened the pit at Barclay's Center and danced to the opening act for about fifteen minutes. When AF came on, they opened with Reflektor, possibly their top song in that album and everyone was boiled over to see someone in a full on Reflektor suit on the little elevated stage in the middle of the arena. Regine Chassagne was graceful and adorable everytime she danced, especially wearing a silver cape as Joan during Joan of Arc.

Win Butler was very friendly with the crowd, trying on a fan's masquerade mask and shaking everyone's hand at the barricade when the show ended. Arcade Fire had lots of surprises and treats for their fans, great band with incredible talent and yet still so humble. The show was full of surprises with outstanding costumes, and moving sets with synchronized lights.

Even from 50 feet away from the stage I felt the excitement from the band, as well as the rest of the arena and I could not stop singing, dancing, fist-pumping It was an experience I'll never forget. Only a band like Arcade Fire could make an entire arena of hundreds of people feel connected. Their albums, all unique, have such beautiful songs with powerful lyrics.

You can feel the soul they put into the words as they sing them to the crowd. Watching the crowd move as one and sing as one when the band started Wake Up gave me chills and I couldn't help but smile and pour my soul into singing along, even though the band was so far away from me. Even without the lights, the costumes, the decorations like mirrors and a disco ball, the colorful, intense backgrounds, and the glitter and confetti, Arcade Fire would've been just as amazing.
