Video footage of two new Arcade Fire tracks has appeared online, after the band played a last-minute surprise show in New Orleans last night (14th March).
The band streamed the full show – taking place at Toulouse Theatre – across their Instagram and TikTok accounts.
From that performance, fans grabbed footage of two new tracks – this week’s new single ‘The Lightning I, II’ and ‘Age of Anxiety’.
The latter takes parts of last year’s 45-minute long track ‘Memories of the Age of Anxiety’, recorded for the Headspace meditation app. ‘The Lighting I, II’, set to arrive in recorded form this Thursday (17th March), is a two-part epic that explodes with typical Arcade Fire energy in its second part. You can check both out below.
‘The Lightning I, II’ is set to debut at 6pm GMT / 2pm ET / 11am PT this coming Thursday.
Our new song The Lightning I, II comes out on Thursday 2PM ET/11AM PT.
