They seem to be getting around quite quickly so probably not. I wonder if they might drop a club date in Barcelona prior to Primavera as a thing to do with playing next year. I would say during the week between but it’d be shitty to the bands losing attendance from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a pretty great replacement for the usual Wednesday opening night which isn't happening this year. Seems realistic too, the main venues Primavera are using for the midweek shows seem to be free on the Wednesday and it's pretty similar to what LCD did in 2016 and Win and the lads in 2017, albeit that one was on the main site. A quick jaunt over from Toronto and then a run of European dates in late May/early June still seems possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 I’m hoping for early May personally. End of May is stacked with gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit different to having a band already playing doing double duty but they’re all already doing double duty… I would be surprised if they didn’t do small UK shows in May/June. Even without Ken’s info, it’s just something they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcrawler Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Win’s at Coachella which I’m guessing might mean a secret set there. With that and headlining Osheaga in July, a trip to Somerset in between for a go on the Park stage sounds about right to me. Edit: Turns out they’re just playing an announced set in a small tent. Carly Rae Jepsen > Arcade Fire > Idles > Phoebe Bridgers > King Gizzard sounds like a great evening.

I know Coachella may not be ‘their crowd’ these days, but still, how fucking cool would that be? And yeah, like you say, that run of acts is shit hot.

Miyn Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 It'll be interesting to see what songs they play / drop for a one hour set? Anyone want to so a quick prediction of what an Arcade Fire secret set might look like? It'd be amazing to see them play Glastonbury, they'd be my highest must see of the whole weekend.

Suprefan Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) I mean if they were in Gobi thats small. But Mojavae is gonna be fucking lit.

For this weekend: The Lightning I The Lightning II Rebellion Generation A No Cars Go Age of Anxiety II Afterlife Reflektor Everything Now Sprawl II Wake Up Glasto would be a bit different I guess as the album would be out by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Are they still headliner sized? Think about 4th down JP would be about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure most people hadn’t got a clue who they were. I think they'd be unlikely to play Latitude as their booking strategy seems to have changed in the past few years. In 2017 and 2018 they spent a lot of the budget on one headliner, and got two cheaper ones. They booked Mumfords in '17 and The Killers in '18 which is a pretty decent get, which they seemed to agree with, as they billed them higher than any act on the bill. But in the past few years they've seemed to spread the money out over all three. They're targeting acts that are around the Pyramid sub or Other headline level, e.g. George Ezra, Lana Del Rey, Liam Gallagher, Chemical Brothers, Foals etc. So I think they'd be out of their budget or too big to play. I'd love to see it as I think Latitude is great in many ways, but I don't see it happening. They'd be fantastic as a secret set this year.

It would feel odd to drop The Suburbs and Ready To Start, but other than Generation A there's no songs that I'd consider droppable of that setlist. If you add in them wanting to promote their new record it's going to be even more chaotic. They really need more than an hour, they've got way too many great songs to fit in.

kingbadger Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Arcade Fire playing Park early doors works. Similar to Vampire Weekend's midday slot. Or an afternoon of Confidence Man - Self Esteem - Arcade Fire works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interpreted 4th down JP as an idea of placement for a secret (or special as they've actually been announced for Coachella) set, 4th down announced normally would be crazy even by Matt's standards.

To be honest I don’t think it would change a lot once the album is out. Generation A would probably go out for (Rabbit Hole) and then maaaaybe Afterlife would go for another new one. You obviously have to leave time for the jazz conga over to the ribbon tower as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
