With a lot of energy, the Arcade Fire entertained the audience Lollapalooza Friday evening (22).

A little embarrassed by the configuration of the show programming on this first day of the festival, being between two highly anticipated attractions (Offspring It is Flashes 182), the Canadian group did not perform in front of a packed audience, but paid little attention to it.

The group, led by the couple Win butler It is Régine Chassagne, the presentation started frantically. Win even took the stage with a Brazilian flag.

The band’s indie rock captivated the audience, who cared little for the strong winds and sick drizzle that hit the Interlagos Racecourse.

Speaking of the audience, we cannot say that the artists did not pay attention to the Brazilian fans. Before the show was halfway through, Win had already thrown himself into the crowd three times. Régine also had her moment to interact with the crowd.

Version of ‘Águas de Março‘

Arcade immersed himself in the country’s culture and performed an English version of ‘March waters‘, classic of Tom Jobim It is Élis Régina. Stepping out of her comfort zone, Régine risked a few choruses of the song in Portuguese, driving fans crazy.

Win also scratched out some Portuguese, but only repeated “thank you, thank you, thank you”, thanking the audience for their kindness.

Arcad and Fire

Arcade Fire is a band indie rock Canadian founded in 2000 by the couple Win butler It is Régine Chassagne. With the album ‘The suburbs‘, the group won in the category ‘Album of the year’ At Grammy and June 2011. Also gained from Brit Award 2011 In ‘Best International Album’ with the disk.

The group returned to Lollapalooza Brasil after ten years, but with a different context. The multi-instrumentalist and singer Will Butler, Win’s brother, left the group in 2022.

The group arrives in Brazil in the midst of a crisis. The singer Win Butler was accused of sexual harassment by different women in 2022. The affairs allegedly took place between 2015 and 2020. At the time, the musician said the relationships in question were consensual, although he said that “I wasn’t proud” of certain messages sent.

In addition to the Arcade, the band’s show will also take place at Lollapalooza this Friday Flashes 182. During the weekend, names like Sam Smith, Gilberto Gil, Titas It is Kings of Leon.
