Arcade Fire played the first of two nights at London's Earls Court last night (6 June), and performed a duet with Echo And The Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch. Watch it below.
The band were playing the first of two shows in London ahead of their headline set at Glastonbury later this month.
"We wanted to do Earls Court before they tear it down for condos," said frontman Win Butler, referring to 2012 plans to demolish the centre as part of redevelopment plans, adding: "Get your bids in now. Hope they're cheap."
Partway through the set, the band were joined by Ian McCulloch to perform a rendition of Echo And The Bunnymen's 1983 track 'The Cutter'.
