Arcade Fire

[DJL]

That was according to Gigwise but have just been on the latitude site and it says in big letters "THE ONLY PLACE TO SEE THEM IN THE UK"

Guess thats a no then

Which has now been taken down... So they seem to be playing smewhere else in the UK at some point?

[Dan R]

Theyre busy on the Friday and Saturday already, would be a good sub on the Sunday though.

Im actually hoping for a Reflektor heavy setlist, think a lot of the songs would work really well live.

[Porcelina]

Seeing them in Philly next Monday so I'm very excited by seeing tonight's setlist.

Will report back.

Pretty happy with that, but they are playing a cover which I'd prefer them not to, and flashbulb eyes which is aassive waste IMO. Love that encore on a whole though

Love the look of that. Not a fan on Flashbulb Eyes either though. I'd still love to see Empty Room though

yeah, get rid of the cover / Flashbulb Eyes and that's pretty much spot on. it's a shame that they don't seem to be playing Awful Sound at all throughout this tour, but ah well

they've kind of entered their 'greatest hits' stage as a band, setlist wise, so there's only so much moving they can do without omitting fan favourites etc, so the setlists will all be fairly predictable

yeah Empty Room would be great. one of the best from The Suburbs, and amazing live

[Tuna]

they did play its never over. too early for you ff?

Need suburban war again

[FloorFiller]

HAHA clearly it is yes

[evilduck]

I don't mind covers, but they definitely need to ditch Flashbulb Eyes. Reckon My Body Is A Cage was the same little snippet they've been doing, or the whole thing?

reckon it'll be the same little snippet. hopefully some videos will start appearing / they'll do the same at Coachella so we can see

[zero000]

Looks like a really good setlist there, should be good at Glastonbury / Earls Court!

[Lubic]

Nice to see a longer length set! Is it Normal Person into Rebellion I wonder? They did it with Month of May on the last tour so works with songs other than Power Out

[theDandy]

Such a shame they haven't been playing My Body Is A Cage in full, such an underrated song! Would be ridiculously epic on the Pyramid Stage if they were to do it. Reckon it would be good towards the end of the set, maybe as like the beginning of the encore? I can only hope!

[CHRLY]

I just scrolled through the arcade fire hashtag on Instagram, the stage looks amazing, a lot more visuals than anything they've had before. Few videos as well, surprised by this but I really liked the sound of flashbulb eyes, they seem to have added a lot more depth to it, probably the brass

[GlastoSimon]

Tis Normal Person into Rebellion, but it's nowhere near as good in my opinion.

Good setlist nonetheless, obviously take out the cover and replace with something else, perhaps Laika. Flashbulb Eyes I'm not too bothered about either way.

[GlastoSimon]

Hold the fecking phone, apparently one song didn't make it from the setlist...

Ummm... 'Controversy' isn't what I think it is surely? Controversy by Prince?

The irony You heard it here first, Prince to make an appearance with Arcade Fire........

[LondonTom]

Two covers then?! Strange!

I'd take The Last Time though, infact I really like the look of that setlist wouldn't mind it at all! (I'd wouldn't say no to We Exist though, maybe in place of Flashbulb Eyes...We Used To Wait/Month Of May to.... and maybe Black Mirror )

[suzie sue]

Like the sound of the split stages too, and the set design looks immense

[John_P]

Any word on other UK dates later in the year, looking forward to them at Glastonbury, but still considering the London shows as well.

[Simpo]

Expect an Autumn/Winter UK tour to be announced just after Glastonbury, a-la Arctic Monkeys.

The idea with the covers seems to be that by that time of the set, the party atmosphere they want to generate at their gigs will really have set in, and everyone is up for a bit of fun! If it's anything like Blackpool, Win will just be messing about with his bobblehead on, roaming around pretending to sing, while his brother does the actual vocals.

kfc yum! arena

It's such a ridiculous name, although I'll probably be seeing them at the phones 4 u arena in manchester which I still think sounds weird
