Arcade Fire

During the summer of 2005, when Arcade Fire performed "Crown of Love" at the Lowlands Festival, they were riding high on the acclaim for their breakout album, *Funeral*, which had been released the previous year. This album not only put them on the map but also redefined indie rock with its heart-wrenching lyrics and lush instrumentation. The performance in Hasselt, Belgium, showcases their raw energy and emotional depth, essential qualities that drew a dedicated following. It’s fascinating to think that this was a time when the band was still fairly fresh, yet their sound was already compelling enough to captivate a large crowd. They were busy laying the foundation for what would become a storied career, blending indie charm with grand orchestration—qualities that have become their signature. Can you imagine how electrifying it must have felt for both the audience and the band on that unforgettable night?
