Arcade Fire

In June 2007, Arcade Fire delivered a memorable performance of "Intervention" at the Glastonbury Festival, nestled in the heart of Pilton, UK. At this point in their career, they had just released their second studio album, *Neon Bible*, which had come out a few months earlier, in March 2007. This album was a significant step forward for the band, showcasing their expanding sound with lush orchestration and deeply metaphorical lyrics. The live rendition captured not just the raw energy of their performance but also the emotional weight of the material they were exploring. Interestingly, *Neon Bible* reflects themes of spirituality and societal critique, so it’s no surprise that this became a standout moment in their career. It's compelling to think how their ambitious sound melded perfectly with the vibrant atmosphere of Glastonbury, making this live performance unforgettable for both the band and their fervent audience.
