It’s the sound of Arcade Fire like you’ve never heard it before. Band members Régine Chassagne and Win Butler shared a special live performance of Arcade Fire songs as part of a Salesforce Leading Through Change live stream earlier today.

The duo rolled out stripped-down and acoustic versions of “The Suburbs,” “Haiti,” and “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)”—watch the set below, beginning around the forty-five minute mark. The performance followed a conversation with Chassagne about her KANPE foundation, which supports vulnerable communities in Haiti.

Arcade Fire will also be among the acts featured during this weekend’s virtual 2020 edition of Lollapalooza. The group’s 2005 set from the Chicago fest will be streamed this Sunday afternoon (August 2). Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Metallica, and Paul McCartney are just some of the artists who’ll also be part of the livestream event. Get more details here.
