Arcade Fire have issued a statement asking their fans to 'relax' after receiving a mixed reaction to a request that audiences observe a dress code for their forthcoming shows.
The band recently released their fourth studio album, ‘Reflektor’, and asked fans to dress in formal attire and fancy dress at a series of intimate shows.
That request was carried over to their upcoming North American tour, leading to consternation among some fans. The band has since responded, describing the dress code as 'super not mandatory'. They wrote:
To everyone really upset about us asking people to dress up at our shows… please relax. It's super not mandatory. It just makes for a more fun carnival when we are all in it together. So far these have been the best shows we have ever played.
See you soon.
Love,
Arcade Fire
