However, the first show in Dublin went ahead as planned yesterday evening.Sharing a thread of tweets throughout the concert, one attendee said that Arcade Fire came out onstage to “rapturous applause” from the audience before opening with ‘Wake Up’.Later, it was claimed by multiple audience members that it appeared to be “business as usual” for the band.
