WATCH: Arcade Fire perform on Saturday Night Live
Last night, Arcade Fire made their grand return to Saturday Night Live.
On the episode, the band performed the tracks "Unconditional I (Lookout Kid)" and "The Lightning (parts I & II),” which can be seen below. These songs stem from Arcade Fire’s new studio album We, which was released on Friday via Columbia. The 10-track album is the final album to feature Will Butler, who exited the band last year. We is the follow-up to Arcade Fire’s 2017 studio album Everything Now.
Arcade Fire previously performed on Saturday Night Live in 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2018. In 2012, Arcade Fire appeared on SNL as a backing band for musical guest Mick Jagger.
Arcade Fire will support the album with a world tour hitting Europe and North America. Feist will open the European dates while North American audiences will get an acoustic performance from Beck. Tickets for all shows will go on sale to the general public this Friday (May 13) at 10 a.m. local time. Pre-sale tickets will go live prior to Friday.
