Arcade Fire’s “new 40-minute opus of intimate depth and profound candor” (VARIETY) has stormed the charts to bring home the #1 on Billboard’s Top U.S. Albums Sales, #1 in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands, plus Top 5 positions in Canada, Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland. The album has also topped the U.S. Rock, Alternative and Vinyl Billboard charts. 

Arcade Fire’s triumphant release week saw the band return to Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and a special performance at the 51st Annual JUNO Awards. At the galaxy wide unveiling of the first ever images of the monster black hole Sagittarius A* by the European Southern Observatory, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne performed their own gentle giant  “End Of The Empire IV (Sagittarius A).” 

WE’s release coincided with the announcement of Arcade Fire’s autumn world tour and a frenzy of excitement from fans resulting in several shows selling out within minutes. Following a triumphant run of surprise shows that “brought New York City back to life” (SPIN), the WE world tour marks the long-awaited “poignant return” (Pitchfork) of the full production Arcade Fire experience to global stages, launching in Dublin on Tuesday, 30th August and running through 1st December in Toronto. The UK leg of the WE tour – featuring special guest Feist – will kick off in Birmingham on 2nd September. North America will be treated to very special guest Beck playing a nightly acoustic set, starting 28th October in Washington D.C.
