It looks like Montreal indie darlings the Arcade Fire have packed the field facing the Coachella stage Saturday evening with more people than Bjork attracted as a headliner on Friday night.
The band opened with “Keep the Car Running” from new album “Neon Bible” and practically had a symphony on the stage with them–including a strings section and a French horn.
But the common people weren’t the only ones trying to see the Arcade Fire. At the end of The Decemberists’ set, singer Colin Meloy announced the band was heading to watch the band and urged the crowd to do the same.
And Carl Newman, lead singer of the New Pornographers, rushed through the crowd in the VIP area to find a spot to watch the band.
