Watch Arcade Fire’s Full Coachella Set Featuring Debbie Harry
Last night, Arcade Fire headlined the final night of this year’s first Coachella weekend, and by most accounts (including that of our own Chris DeVille), they stepped the fuck up. The band recently covered Blondie’s “Heart Of Glass” live, and they did it again last night, with the important caveat that they brought Blondie leader Debbie Harry to the stage to sing it this time. She also helped out on “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains).” And the Preservation Hall Jazz Band guested on the set-closing “Wake Up.” At one point, Butler acknowledged the scene-y mess Coachella has become: “I just want to say that there’s a lot of fake VIP room bullshit happening at this festival, and sometimes people dream of being there — but it super sucks in there, so don’t worry about it.” Later he threw shade at the abundance of EDM acts playing the fest with a pointed shoutout “to all the bands playing instruments this weekend.” Below, watch pro footage of the entire 97-minute set and check out the setlist.
