This year's Glastonbury Festival takes place from June 27-29 on Worthy Farm in Pilton, England. Today, Arcade Fire headlined the first evening set. The band brought out a man in a mirror suit at the beginning of the performance, saying that playing at Glastonbury was "the most incredible" thing out of the many "unbelievable" things they've gotten to do. Check out the setlist and video from the performance below.
For "We Exist", the band brought out a team of male dancers wearing silver dresses and blonde wigs (a reference to the song's music video, which stars Andrew Garfield), and the infamous bobblehead masks made their dancing debut during a long intro for "Normal Person", which included snippets of songs by Oasis, Jay Z, and Pulp. Fireworks went off between "Keep The Car Running" and "No Cars Go". According to a report by NME, Lorde may have been scheduled to join the band as a guest performer, but pulled out in favor of "family" time, according to a statement on her Twitter.
