Arcade Fire played the first proper full show of their Reflektor world tour with a headline slot at New Zealand's Big Day Out Festival last night (Thursday 16 January, 2014). See the full setlist below. 

While the band toured heavily in the last few months of 2013 to promote their recent fourth album, the gigs were intimate, fairly short and leaned heavily on new material from Reflektor. However, last night Win Butler and co delighted fans with a career-spanning set, littered with fan favourites and Arcade Fire classics. 

Fans should expect a longer set for their upcoming arena shows, but it is worth noting that their performance at Glastonbury 2014 is likely to be similar in length. 

Arcade Fire played:
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

Arcade Fire will be returning to the UK and Ireland next year for a string of live headline shows close to their Glastonbury headlining slot. Dates are below.

6 June - Earls Court, London
7 June - Earls Court, London
29 June - Marlay Park, Dublin

Tickets are on sale now. For more information visit Gigwise gig tickets.
