Arcade Fire played a secret Dublin gig last night and it looked amazing
So, just a few short hours after playing a headline set at Malahide Castel last , Arcade Fire performed a secret gig in Whelan's.
Shortly after the gig finished, Win Butler, the band's lead vocalist, took to Twitter to inform fans of a “Dance party at Whelan's.”
Thank you Dublin. Dance party at whelan's @whelanslive

As the Canadian alt-rockers took to the stage, the Dublin venue was flooded with fans looking to take their place in the small crowd.
Those who were lucky enough to get a spot in the audience were treated to a short acoustic set before Win took his place behind the DJ decks for an after party.
Photos and videos of the impromptu gig have been popping up all over Twitter, leaving many fans disappointed they missed the change to see the band in such an intimate setting.
And honestly, we don't blame them. It looked absolutely amazing.
