Arcade Fire Performance of Reflektor and Afterlife at Bilbao BBK Live
In July 2016, during their performance at the Bilbao BBK Live festival, Arcade Fire was in the midst of promoting their double album 'Reflektor,' which had been released in 2013. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, blending rock with eclectic influences like Caribbean music and electronic elements. Notably, 'Reflektor' was inspired in part by Haitian rara music, reflecting the band's interest in cultural diversity and humanitarian causes. Their live performance showcased the vibrant energy and theatrical qualities that the band is known for, featuring audience participation and an engaging stage presence. The Kobetamendi venue added to the atmosphere, providing stunning views that complemented the show's grandeur, making it a memorable night for fans basking in the dynamic interplay of sound and emotion.
