Arcade Fire

In September 2017, when Arcade Fire performed 'Haiti' at Centre Bell in Montreal, they were riding high on the success of their fifth album, 'Everything Now,' which had dropped just a couple of months earlier in July. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, embracing a more polished and disco-infused sound, which was a slight departure from their earlier anthemic style. Fans were excited about the album's exploration of themes around consumerism and global disconnection, perfectly underscored in their energetic live performances. The choice to play 'Haiti,' a classic that channels their roots and pays homage to the cultural heritage of band member Régine Chassagne, reflects a blend of nostalgia and evolution in their artistry, showcasing their enduring relevance and emotional depth.
