Meanwhile, it was announced earlier this week that the band will release a double video, ‘Money + Love’, tomorrow (March 15). The clip will combine two standout tracks from ‘Everything Now’ – ‘Put Your Money On Me’ and ‘We Don’t Deserve Love’.
The visuals are directed by David Wilson, written by Wilson and Arcade Fire themselves. It will star the band alongside the Oscar-nominated Toni Collette.
It’s likely that the tracks will get a live airing this weekend, with the band set to appear as musical guests on Saturday Night Live .
Arcade Fire are also set to release their first EP on vinyl for Record Store Day.
The UK leg of the ‘Infinite Content’ tour begins in Manchester on April 8.

As you may or may not know, Arcade Fire has built a strong reputation for being one of the best live bands out there today. Since their release of "Funeral" in 2004 they have been building an arsenal of captivating, energizing, and flat-out intense music that in my opinion was made complete (at least for now) with "Reflektor" in 2014. On their "Reflektor Tour" they epitomize all set lists with their perfect mix of past and present Arcade Fire.
At the concert I attended in DC they opened with "Afterlife" perfectly setting the mood for the rest of the show; it was energetic but not over the top (we needed to save our energy for songs like "Normal Person" "Month of May" and "Ready to Start") and all the fans were able to sing along to the chorus, connecting us to the band right from the start. Needless to say, we were all giddy with excitement after the opener.
While there were a fair share of intense songs you can't help but loose control during, there were also some beautiful moments, specifically during "It's Never Over (Hey Orpheus)." Win begun the song as usual at the stage up front, but Régine (Win's wife and co-lead singer for those that don't know) had mysteriously disappeared. Then we heard her voice from a different stage in the center of the GA area. This was cool because Win and Régine were separated and then during the really beautiful part of the song they would reach out for each other, only to be unsuccessful in reuniting, bringing the meaning of the song to life in a way.
Through all of the intense and beautiful moments, Arcade Fire, after two hours of practically non-stop music, arrived at the finale. 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. Live. 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.
Report as inappropriate
"It's a bunch of geeks playing ****ing art music. It shouldn't have been any ****ing good. But they were ****ing amazing". Such was the reaction of the gentleman behind me after my first Arcade Fire gig, at Manchester Academy in 2005, 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. But my word, put them on a stage and they'd blow your ****ing mind.
"Wake Up", with its peerlessly anthemic chorus delivered with almost religious fervour. The cacophonous, punky "Laika", with Richard Reed Parry using every hittable object on stage as an impromptu drum kit. "Haiti", with its eminently danceable groove belying the darkness of its lyrics. And "In The Backseat", a song that rendered a 1500-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. But what has remained a constant is their dedication to putting 110% into their live shows.
Last night, I saw Arcade Fire for the 27th time. It was just as joyous and vital as the first.
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. They continued with plenty of hits from each of their albums like "The Suburbs", "Ready to Start", "No Cars Go", etc. 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." But they really brought it home when in the middle of "Here Comes the Night Time" they completely covered the crowd in the most confetti I have ever seen. 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. The set list consisted of crowd favorite songs from the Suburbs and Reflektor, a little rendition of My Body Is A Cage and of course the famous Wake Up from the album Funeral. 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.
Although I was quite far away from the stage, Arcade Fire did not fail to blow my mind at Verizon Center in Washington DC last night. 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.
They say perfection doesn't exist, well that's wrong when it comes to Arcade Fire. The show was perfect, almost surreal- definitely the concert of the year by far. The set list on the Wednesday show was as of it was made for me, playing songs I never thought I would hear live, it was an emotional experience. The lighting, costumes, music transitions, props was amazing, and the boxing type ring stage was incredibly clever, allowing them to be closer to the fans and yet providing a different show on every side. Words can't explain what I felt during and after the concert, it was playful, clever, emotional, energetic- Such an amazing band, I'm so glad I found them- I don't know how I was alive before finding them. They have such an incredible stage presence, I really truly recommend seeing them if you have the chance- they unite all ages and create magic and unity.
Night #2 of Arcade Fire's Brooklyn stand at the Barclay's Center did not disappoint. The massive arena show proved that Arcade Fire has successfully translated the energy of their indie early days to the big and shiny stages of the masses. The set list, leaning heavily on the new Reflektor and the now classic Funeral album was energetic and driving interspersed with a few of the more popular tracks from The Suburbs. The band did not let off the gas from the halfway point on, and the encore saw New York's own Marky Ramone take the stage to play drums as the band ripped through Ramones classics "I Don't Wanna Go Down in The Basement" and "I Wanna Be Sedated." As the confetti fell and the last notes of "Wake Up" rattled off the rafters a satiated NYC crowd was invited to stay and dance, though most quickly filed out into the night time, buzzing.
Arcade Fire played an absolutely electric show at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, leaving the crowd buzzing with more energy at the end than it already had at the start. Arcade Fire began their set with a Devo cover, which was a very nice tribute since Devo had to cancel that night due to a "kayaking accident." They covered all the bases, even playing older hits such as Rebellion(Lies). It truly was one of the best musical experiences I've ever had; the sound quality was unparalleled, the light show and visuals were engaging, and the jamming at the end of songs like Reflektor, Here Comes the Night Time, and Wake Up is what going to live shows is all about. The paper mache heads and ridiculous confetti just added to the effect. 10/10 would see again. Thanks Arcade Fire, best Wednesday night ever.
Well, as a show, it was one of the best ones I've ever been to, with spectacular mirror plays and great enphasis from the members of the band, who move from side to side of the stage (I think at least one of them was high on drugs, or was it just part of the show?). "It's never over" was fantastic to watch live, you can feel the synthony between Win Butler and Régine Chassagne. Problem is, I was so close to the stage that I couldn't enjoy the music itself: the soundcheck had been done badly, so that the bass would cover every other sound sometimes, and it seemed to be overdriven. But the way the crowd was taken by the concert was amazing, never seen anyone so close to their fans. I would have liked to follow their dress code, but, as you know, Rome is quite hot in summer.

Everything Now: Arcade Fire's new album set for July 28 release, upcoming tour
Canadian tour begins in quebec city in september.
Social Sharing
Arcade Fire's new album Everything Now will be available on July 28, but the band has given fans something to digest in the meantime.
The Quebec art-rock band dropped the upbeat title track on streaming services Thursday and announced eight Canadian tour dates, starting with a Quebec City show on Sept. 5.
The band was cryptically teasing fans about the long-rumoured album for weeks.
And then a few days ago, a limited vinyl edition of the single Everything Now was released — and the band played a surprise, hour-long set featuring new tracks off the album Thursday at the Primavera Sound music festival in Barcelona, where the band is also set to play on Saturday.
Before the album was officially unveiled on Thursday, the band's website was taken over by a mock livestream designed to look like a breaking news broadcast with the headline "Live From Death Valley." The static shot in the video feed closely resembled the album cover for Everything Now .
The album features tracks produced by Daft Punk member Thomas Bangalter and Pulp bassist Steve Mackey. It also includes co-production by Markus Dravs who worked on the band's 2010 album The Suburbs , which went on to win a Grammy for album of the year.
The physical album will be available in various formats, including CD, cassette and a limited edition black vinyl with 20 variations of the artwork in 20 different languages.
Arcade Fire's upcoming Canadian tour dates:
Sept. 5: Quebec City, Videotron Centre

The band’s fifth appearance on SNL for the Mother’s Day show included a pair of songs from their just-release sixth album, as well as a powerful message about abortion rights. Their first performance ran through “Unconditional I (Lookout Kid),” which contained a special Mother’s Day tribute, as well as a second, titanic, run through the scorched earth rocker “The Lightning I, II,” which ended with singer Win Butler making a statement about abortion rights in light of the May 2 leak of a Supreme Court draft decision signaling the possible overturning of the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion ruling.

Album Review: Arcade Fire – Everything Now
For the first time in their storied career, Win Butler and co. sound insubstantial
- Arcade Fire
Arcade Fire ’s 2013 rollout for Reflektor was, in many ways, as memorable as that record’s music. There was the guerrilla graffiti art campaign that cryptically ushered in awareness of the project before seeing blowback for property damage. There were the secret shows where fans were instructed to dress up in their shiniest. There was the Saturday Night Live post-show special that featured the likes of Michael Cera, Ben Stiller, and Bono. Then came the radio concerts, Coachella, and eventually an arena tour. Manager Scott Rodger called it “punching above their weight class,” but really, Arcade Fire were just bulking up to join the ranks of the heavyweights.
This, of course, was a couple album release trends ago. Since then, we’ve weathered the age of the surprise album and now move further into a time where streaming exclusivity might prove the new norm. But in 2013, Kanye West took to projecting music videos on the side of buildings and Daft Punk was unveiling commercials ahead of Coachella headliners. Arcade Fire were just following suit with what they considered their peers. The band may have been on an indie label, but you didn’t have to look further than singer Win Butler’s Yeezy-adorned feet to know where the band belonged.
Unsurprisingly, the strategy proved a success when looking at the numbers — the album topped the Billboard 200. But in its wake, both the band and the music landscape changed. These bold campaigns exhausted listeners, with the move to the surprise album release a direct reaction to those sick of the overwrought marketing that treated them less like fans and more like consumers. And, as such, Arcade Fire’s follow-up, Everything Now , is void of an event aesthetic, with an unveiling that has drifted towards the sheepishly traditional. The band put forth a whopping four advanced tracks from the collection, with the most extreme bit of creativity coming from the lead-up appearing in the form of a new Twitter account and song-title anagrams. It was like the band had learned from their mistakes, or they knew that their status was secure and less in need of frills.
Or, maybe, Arcade Fire sensed that Everything Now doesn’t deserve to be hyped. The 13-song collection is the first album of the band’s career that veers away from being a greater statement. Hell, the 13 songs are really just 10, with three reprises included, notably the record’s bookends that find different ways of presenting the title track. When fans actually sit down to hear Everything Now and find just six new offerings outside of the singles, it will be hard not to feel a small sense of disappointment, particularly considering how thin many of the new songs are on the album. In a word, Everything Now finds Arcade Fire in a place they’ve never been. It’s unsubstantial.
(Ranking: Every Arcade Fire Song From Worst to Best )
That’s not to say that they don’t still sound huge. With its six core members and rotating cast of collaborators — including producers Steve Mackey of Pulp, Geoff Barrow of Portishead, and, most notably, Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter — Everything Now still floats on a sea of ideas. The lead single and title track may ape Abba with its airy piano intro, but the propulsive bass line, orchestral flourishes, and pointed lyrics are very much the band’s own. It’s a song that both floats and prances, and its current fixture status on alternative radio is very much deserved. Regardless of how the album is received by critics or their longtime fans, the song “Everything Now” has already assured the band will reach a new level of commercial success with the biggest single of their career.
Elsewhere, “Creature Comfort” and “Electric Blue” also benefit from the band’s fearlessness. They work without a net on the former as they tackle suicide, unabashed in their aim to make a song that could be considered a life saver. On the latter, the band have never reveled so much in a groove, giving co-lead Regine Chassagne the chance to carry a song in the way she’s previously soared on tracks like “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” and “Haiti”. When the album comfortably bounces from disco to new wave, it doesn’t much matter that they aren’t tied together in the strictest sense. Still, the resulting work is a record without a signature sound. There’s nothing baroque about Arcade Fire in 2017, even if the strings and brass and woodwinds are still present.
But the cornucopia approach also reveals the instability of the Arcade Fire ship. On “Chemistry”, a foray into trumpet-tooting, up-strummed dub results in a watch-checking three-and-a-half-minute debacle. “You and me, we got chemistry,” Butler sings, clearly lying, the band sounding more out of tune with each other than ever. A pair of endeavors into “Infinite Content” show a song that sputters both as a snotty punk speedball and as sedated, mid-tempo jangle-rock. By presenting the song in multiple forms, the picture of Arcade Fire is of a band that can’t quite settle on what they want to sound like, throwing noodles at a wall until something sticks. And when Butler cops Debbie Harry’s rap cadence from “Rapture” on goofily earnest “Signs of Life”, homage quickly becomes parody.
Of the non-singles, there is only a single moment that sounds inspired. On penultimate number “We Don’t Deserve Love”, Win Butler is finally singing with vulnerability. His voice shakes fragilely while his elastic melody never quite settles in comfortably. It’s a song that has direction, that is mapped out with determination, that takes its time to build to a grand conclusion. Coming at the end of the album, it’s both a reminder of how emotionally affecting Arcade Fire can still be and just how devoid of heart-tugging swells the rest of the album is in the end. Because that’s always been the band’s MO, right? As they’ve grown from clubs to amphitheaters to headlining festivals and arenas, the challenge has been to maintain the emotional immediacy that can fill the biggest rooms. And, until now, they’ve been up for that task. But when “Everything Now” returns to close the album and we get the first big orchestral crescendo, it’s nourishing. In contrast, Everything Now ’s bulk starves its audience from what they’d hope for in an Arcade Fire album.
Consider how many first experienced Reflektor . When the band uploaded the album in its entirety to YouTube, it wasn’t unreasonable to expect fans to push play, to sit back, and let the music wash over them. This wasn’t because Arcade Fire could successfully incorporate ’80s synth tones into their music. It was to feel something deeply and to feel it together. They were a band so big that its audience could genuinely feel like they were a part of it, that the “whoa ohs” of “Wake Up” weren’t complete unless everybody was singing along. Everything Now puts that chapter of the band to bed in favor of something more palatable to a wider audience, giving up being beloved in favor of being ambitious. When Butler opens the album proclaiming, “We can just pretend/ We’ll make it home again/ From everything now,” it lands like a eulogy to the band they used to be. There are plenty of new places for Arcade Fire to explore together, but for the audience, it feels a lot like being left behind.
Essential Tracks: “Everything Now”, “Creature Comfort”, “We Don’t Deserve Love”, and “Electric Blue”
