Arcade Fire Tickets

Arcade Fire is an indie rock band hailing from Montreal, Canada. Frontman Win Butler teamed up with his wife, Régine Chassagne, and his brother, Will Butler, as well as Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury and Jeremy Gara to release their debut album,

Funeral,

in 2004. This freshmen effort is best known for the sweeping anthem Wake Up (which has been featured in several commercials and film trailers) and the toe-tappers like the multi-part Neighborhood. Since then, they've released four more albums, most recently, in 2017,

Everything Now

. Career accolades include Grammy nominations for Best Alternative Rock Album (for all five records), a 2011 Grammy award for Album of the Year for

The Suburbs

, released in 2010, and multiple shortlist nominations for the Polaris Music Prize. They've also built a strong reputation for their grand, sweeping and emotional shows that fill the stage with a variety of musicians.

Rocking Through 21st-Century Suburbia

While Arcade Fire was recording their first album, several of its members were dealing with the deaths of close family members, including the Butler brothers' grandfather. These experiences inspired the album's title and lent a somber note to some of its tracks, but the result was popular nonetheless. The band's 2007 follow-up,

Neon Bible,

was greeted with anticipation and, ultimately, success, with one

Trouser Press

writer touting the album as among the best indie rock recordings of all time. British rock singer

David Bowie

contributed to the title track on their fourth studio album, Reflektor, released in 2013, and the band headlined the

Glastonbury Festival

in June of that year.

Will Butler

branched out to release a solo effort in 2015, but he returned to Arcade Fire for the band's fifth album,

Everything Now,

which bowed in the summer of 2017.

What can I expect from an Arcade Fire concert?

Theatricality is often the name of the game at an Arcade Fire show. For the band's Reflektor tour, a man dressed from head to toe in tiny mirrors (reminiscent of a disco ball) made frequent appearances in the audience. During Here Comes the Night Time, a two-part staple of

Reflektor

, audiences were showered with a multitude of brightly colored confetti. The band members enjoy interacting with the crowd and appreciate fan enthusiasm, so come prepared to sing and dance along.
