December 1 2010 - Arcade Fire began their first ever UK arena tour with a sold-out performance at London’s O2 Arena.
Playing the first of two dates at the venue, the Montreal-based band unleashed a career-spanning set, which included highlights from recent album ‘The Suburbs’.
Arcade Fire were on typically energetic form, and seemed at ease in a bigger venue during hits such as ‘Rebellion (Lies)’ and ‘Wake Up’. Singer Win Butler also repeatedly thanked the audience for their support.
