Watch Arcade Fire play first show in two years at Kanaval Ball in New Orleans

They played an 11-song set featuring Preservation Hall Jazz Band

Arcade Fire performed together for the first time in two years last night (February 14) as headliners of the 2020 Kanaval Ball in New Orleans.

Launched in 2018 by Arcade Fire’s Win Butler and Régine Chassagne with Preservation Hall’s Ben Jaffe, the Kanaval Ball celebrates the carnival traditions of Haiti and New Orleans.

Proceeds from the event go to the Preservation Hall Foundation’s educational efforts in New Orleans as well as Arcade Fire’s KANPE Foundation and its support of cultural and social initiatives in Haiti.
