Days after allegations of sexual misconduct against Win Butler made by multiple people surfaced, Arcade Fire are moving ahead with their planned 2022 tour, set to begin tonight in Dublin.
In a new report on Pitchfork, multiple women have come forward accusing Arcade Fire co-leader Win Butler of sexual misconduct. Win gave a statement apologizing to those he has hurt, but denies that he has ever ”touched a woman against her will.”
For the first time in a while, Arcade Fire sound like they're being themselves, honing in on what they've always done best, and coming out with some of the most affecting music of their career.
The stream, which promotes voter participation, will feature conversations between musicians, actors, and politicians, as well as performances and appearances.
You can listen to Jeremy Gara's new single "wraith' and watch a trailer for Will Butler's new album Generations. Both their albums are out in September.
