After Arcade Fire performed “Wake Up,” they debuted another new track, “Unconditional I (Lookout Kid).”
The band is gearing up for their upcoming record, WE, which is out May 6. Even though he worked on the record, founding band member Will Butler announced over the weekend that he left the band at the end of 2021. They released “The Lightning I, II” last Thursday.
