Gwendoline Christie, known for portraying Brienne of Tarth in Game Of Thrones, helped introduce Arcade Fire at their London gig last night (July 5).
Following on from their epic and sweaty opening night at which they debuted new material on Tuesday (July 4), the Canadian band returned to the intimate setting of the York Hall boxing hall in Bethnal Green on Wednesday evening.
The group were welcome to the stage with a boxing-style introduction from Dave Bassant, who introduces fights at the venue.
Game Of Thrones and Star Wars star Christie then rung a bell after yelling “Everything now!,” the title of the band’s new album. Watch in the video below.
