Arcade Fire Reflektor Tour: Grammy Winning Band Reveals Tour Dates North America, Starts March 6 And Will Visit 28 Cities, What Sparked The Bands Success?
After going on top of the Billboard Hot 200 charts albums, Arcade Fire's 'Reflektor' North American Tour will undergo starting on March 6 when they will first have a show in Louisville for their '2014 Reflektor Tour'.
The band Arcade Fire Reflektor Tour will be produced by Live Nation and will visit Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta, Denver, Nashville, Seattle, Boston, Chicago and other parts of Canada among others.
The Montreal-based band's fourth release was deeply influenced by Haitian rara music. Arcade Fire members Win Butler and Regine Chassagne had the inspiration of this new album when they went on a trip to their families' home country in Haiti.
"Going to Haiti for the first time with Regine was the beginning of a major change in the way that I thought about the world. Usually, I think you have most of your musical influences locked down by the time you're 16. There was a band I [feel] changed me musically, just really opened me up to this huge, vast amount of culture and influence I hadn't been exposed to before, which was really life-changing," the band vocalist said.
"I was learning from what I saw and applying it to my own life, lyrically," Butler told Rolling Stone saying how the music changed and evolved in the new album. "I'm not trying to tell other people's stories. We're just trying to allow an experience to change you."
The indie band's latest double record release includes 14 tracks split in half telling Rolling Stones, "The record is really long. We intended to make a short record and we ended up with 18 songs that were all between six and eight minutes and we were like, "Uh oh, I think we screwed up making a short record." Splitting it over the two halves enables you to get into the different worlds of the records."
Tickets for the Reflektor tour will be available on November 22.
