Last night, Arcade Fire officially kicked off their massive world tour in support Reflektor with a headlining appearance at New Zealand’s Big Day Out Festival. Unlike the intimate warm-up shows played in the days surrounding Reflektor’s release, last night’s setlist was chock full of non-Reflektor material, including “Haiti”, “Rebellion (Lies)”, “Wake Up”, and several songs off 2010’s The Suburbs. They even made good on our request to play “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)”.

It’s important to note that last night was festival set and presumably a bit shorter than what the band will play when they embark on their North American arena tour this spring. Still, it gives a good idea of what Win Butler is thinking.

Setlist:

Ready to Start

Flashbulb Eyes

Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

Joan of Arc

The Suburbs

The Suburbs (Continued)

Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)

Afterlife

Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

Haïti

Normal Person

Keep the Car Running

Reflektor

Rebellion (Lies)

Here Comes the Night Time

Wake Up
