2024 is starting to feel a lot like 2004.
Later this year, Modest Mouse will celebrate their seminal “Good News For People Who Love Bad News” on the road, The Killers are currently staging a Las Vegas residency in support of their album “Hot Fuss” and TV On The Radio has scheduled a handful of NY and LA shows paying homage to their groundbreaking debut “Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes.”
Now, Arcade Fire has entered the AIM chat.
On Monday, Sept. 16, Win Butler and co. are dropping into Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre for a one-night-only concert where they’ll honor their incomparable 2004 album “Funeral.”
At the time of publication, this is Arcade Fire’s only North American “Funeral” show this year.
If you’d like to attend, general admission tickets start at $91 before fees on Vivid Seats.
There likely would have been more shows on the group’s slate this year but the band came under fire in late 2022 when an investigation by Pitchfork alleged that lead singer Win Butler had “used his status as a famous musician to pressure (multiple partners) into sexual encounters.”
“I have long struggled with mental health issues and the ghosts of childhood abuse,” he shared in a statement via crisis PR specialist Risa Heller. “In my 30s, I started drinking as I dealt with the heaviest depression of my life after our family experienced a miscarriage. None of this is intended to excuse my behavior, but I do want to give some context and share what was happening in my life around this time.” (Régine Chassagne, Butler’s bandmate and wife, issued a statement in support of her husband as well.)

Win Butler controversy
According to the updated November 2022 version of the Pitchfork story, five people had come forward to share their experiences with Butler’s allegedly “manipulative, toxic” behavior.
Prior to that, “three women made allegations of sexual interactions with Butler that they came to feel were inappropriate given the gaps in age, power dynamics, and context in which they occurred. All three women were devoted Arcade Fire fans between the ages of 18 and 23 at the start of their interactions with Butler, which took place during overlapping periods from 2016 to 2020, when he was between 36 and 39.”
