Arcade Fire had to pause their surprise set at Coachella 2022 twice on Friday (April 15th).
NME reports that less than a minute into their set, Win Butler paused their new track “The Lightning” in order to call for medics to help a fan in the front of the pit who needed help.
The frontman also had to stop after becoming emotional after playing the first verse of the band’s new song, “Unconditional I (Lookout Kid). Butler took a moment to wipe his eyes and told the crowd, “it’s been a hard f***ing year”, before starting from the top.
