Live shows are always a lot of fun no matter what you’re wearing, but you can also enjoy your time by viewing what others fans are wearing! Last fall, Arcade Fire requested that fans wear formal attire or costume to their upcoming concerts. Although it is NOT mandatory, it is recommended! Band member Richard Parry talked about it in an interview with the Pittsburg Post-Gazette, “We’re trying to make a show that feels like an event, that’s fun, that people want to be at and participate in. We’ve found from shows that we’ve done that people like to dress up, people like to put on a mask”. The band clarified that anyone upset about the dress code recommendation should relax. Richard also notes, “I think the more you can get people to participate actively in the show, the less of a show-spectator spectacle it becomes and it becomes more of a celebration, more of a moment that people can share together”.
