Arcade Fire Lead David Bowie Parade Through Festival Crowd: Watch

Last night, as their headlining set was ending at Panorama (the New York City festival organized by the same company that throws Coachella), Arcade Fire headed out into the crowd. There, they paid tribute to David Bowie by covering his songs while parading through the crowd with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The scene that took place at the Google Play Music Block was reminiscent of the two bands’ Bowie parade in New Orleans earlier this year. See footage of them performing “Heroes” and “Suffragette City” below via CoS, as well as photos from the performance.

Arcade Fire is to pure and perfect for this world. They hooked up with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for a second line across the field at the main stage. Cross this one off the bucket list #panoramanyc #arcadefire
