Rolling Stone skrev for et par dage siden om Arcade Fires optræden på den netop afholdte Califoniske musikfestival Coachella.

“Arcade Fire gave a main-stage performance that felt like a coronation, drawing a sprawling crowd of tens of thousands: The big stage and fearsomely loud sound system and were just right for their grandiose songs, which finally swelled to the U2-and-Springsteen proportions they always had in them. They didn’t shy from the stadium-rock thing: During an epic “Rebellion (Lies),” frontman Win Butler walked off stage and into the audience, singing in their faces, Bono-style.

Their set was front-loaded with the less ecstatic songs from their new album, Neon Bible, which meant they were able to unleash the full-on anthems from Funeral one after another in the second half of the show. Butler had just taken a month off to deal with voice problems, but he showed no signs of restraint, howling his way through “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)” like it was the last time he’d ever have to perform.”

Måske et kærkommet input til overvejelserne omkring hvorvidt Arcade Fire skal spille på Arena eller Orange på dette års Roskilde Festival? Jeg har hidtil holdt på, at Arcade Fire netop ikke spiller stadionrock og at vi ville få en langt federe koncert på den, alt andet lige, mere intime Arena. Men deres efterhånden meget store popularitet også i Danmark taler jo for at sætte dem på Orange. Lad os se.
