Last night saw Arcade Fire appear on both Saturday Night Live as well as a live TV concert special on NBC, showcasing a bunch of new tracks in the process.
The SNL performance saw Arcade Fire run through their upcoming album’s title-track ‘Reflektor’, as well as ‘Afterlife’, while the one-hour programme following it included ‘Here Comes The Night Time’, ‘We Exist’, and ‘Normal Person’, as well as cameos from Bono, Ben Stiller, James Franco, Michael Cera and other celebrity names.
