On July 17th, the band will host an intimate show ahead of their new album. All ticket holders received an email asking them to refrain from wearing “shorts, large logos, flip flops, tank tops, crop tops, baseball hats, solid white or red clothing”. Fans were also asked to make the gig a “phone free experience”. In fact, fans were warned that their phones would be taken at the door.
Thankfully for all fans, it seems like a rogue employee from Everything Now Co was responsible for the whole fiasco, as he claims he was “trying to class up the show a little bit”.

Well poo poo on you TANNIS WRIGHT. I will wear what I dang well please thank-you-so-much. Thankfully all you Arcade Fire fans can breathe a sigh of relief and wear your most ratchet flip-flop/crop top combo and turn the speakers up till they break.
