Arcade Fire will play a surprise set at Coachella Festival on Friday. In revealing this weekend’s set times, Coachella slyly revealed the last-minute booking: Arcade Fire will perform an hour-long set at the Mojave Tent beginning at 6:45 p.m. — smack dab between previously announced performances from IDLES and Carly Rae Jepsen. After a two-year absence due to the pandemic, Coachella will finally return this weekend. The announced line-up is headlined by Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, The Weeknd, and Swedish House Mafia, and also promises Megan Thee Stallion, Phoebe Bridgers, Doja Cat, Danny Elfman, Run the Jewels, Maggie Rogers, and many more. You can find the weekend one set times below. It’s unclear whether Arcade Fire will also be appearing at weekend two of the festival.
It’ll mark Arcade Fire’s first time performing at Coachella since their headlining set in 2014. In the run-up to their new album “WE”, Arcade Fire have played a number of secret shows, including a pair of hometown gigs in New Orleans and a run of shows in New York City. Earlier today, they were announced to headline this summer’s Osheaga Festival in Montreal .
