It's been three years since the last Arcade Fire album, so, naturally, news of new music gets the buzz around a release going. As reported by The Times - Picayune, the Canadian outfit, in New Orleans for their headline set at Voodoo Fest, treated 175 masked Halloweeners to a private show. Friends and friends of friends were treated to new, unreleased music that the band wanted to test out.

Phones were confiscated at the door of the Secondline Stages film studio, where the performance was held, meaning no material has leaked... yet. The wait since 2013's Reflektor has been a long one and we'll be ready to bring you the latest from Arcade Fire as soon as it's live!
