Arcade Fire

[bocumaroy]

They know it’s probably their most popular song amongst fans, I’d be shocked it they don’t play Tunnels. I do agree with FloorFiller about it gradually being phased out a bit though.

[Babyquack]

Surely them playing 1h45 means they'll just play all the songs (inc. those on rotation), surely they won't let me down by missing out the likes of Tunnels etc.?

but they played for about 2 hours at Earls Court and we still didn't get all the songs on rotation

Their own gigs have all been at least that long, usually a bit longer, and even then there’s some left out, so not quite.

[kingcrawler]

I still think we'll get Tunnels, not expecting Laika or Month of May so it would probably replace one of them.

[CHRLY]

They haven't left it out that much really, I'd say you'd be very unlucky not to have tunnels seeing them on this tour

[kaytee...]

Just heard Wake Up on a bbc Glasto ad.

The excitement is unbearable.

[evilduck]

I'd rather have Tunnels than Laika, but I've seen them both often enough to not be too bothered. Really want Haiti though! Can they just permanantly ditch Flashbulb Eyes to make more room?

[theDandy]

Strange set in Rome tonight, Flashbulb Eyes, Keep the Car Running, Laika and Month of May all back in but no Tunnels!

Not sure what to think if they played that at Glastonbury, would be gutted at the omission of Tunnels but Keep the Car Running and Month of May are two of the songs I'm most hoping for. That set with Tunnels instead of Laika or Flashbulb Eyes would be ideal though.

Instead of Laika? Are you mental?

[theDandy]

They've got too many great songs, it confuses me and brings sadness to me when I try to think of a setlist which only lasts 1 hours and 45 minutes. At the end of the day they're always gonna be missing out on a few great songs which is disappointing not to see, but they make up for it by playing the ones they do play amazing and perfectly.

I hope the rain stops when they come out.

[Amy Lawn]

Tunnels is my favourite AF song, will be gutted if they don't play it.

[Yesiamaduck]

I can't believe they're deleting songs from Funeral for the 'Other' albums WTF talk about being blissfully unaware of ur peak period

no Tunnels OR Laika tonight (but with Keep The Car Running and We Used To Wait instead)

if they could do Tunnels and Keep The Car Running for us i would be a very happy boy

That would be ideal for me.

This fucking band, last listen tonight before the big one and I can't put in to words how I'm feeling about Friday, it's going to be special

[suzie sue]

Special guest is from Somerset but can't think of anyone well known

It's obviously Tricky. He's been practising since the Beyoncé fuck up

[robertadams1]

im guessing jarvis is nailed on but any chance of bowie !?

[justanothername]

Anyone know if BBC 2 are showing Arcade Fire live or is it just highlights for 4 hours as I can't find an answer?
I'll probably be forced to watch it on my laptop anyway (TV will be taken by someone else) so I just want to know as I want to record it
