Arcade Fire

Back in June 2007, when Arcade Fire took the stage at Glastonbury, they were riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed sophomore album, *Neon Bible*, which had dropped just a few months prior, in March. *Neon Bible* propelled the band into the global spotlight, blending grandiose soundscapes with deeply personal themes about faith and identity. Performing *Antichrist Television Blues* at Glastonbury, the band showcased their knack for marrying intricate instrumentation with fervent lyricism—a hallmark of their style. Interestingly, this performance marked a significant moment as the band was still new to the massive festival scene, yet they quickly won over the crowd with their fervent energy, hinting at the superstar status they would catapult into shortly after. It's fascinating to think how moments like these shape a band's trajectory, solidifying their connection with fans and establishing their presence in the music landscape.
