Arcade Fire have announced a last-minute benefit show in New Orleans, with proceeds going to Plus1’s Ukraine Relief Fund. It’s happening at the Toulouse Theatre, and wristbands are available for pay-what-you-can pickup at 10 a.m. Central.
Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in late February, artists have been canceling scheduled performances in both countries—among them My Chemical Romance, HEALTH, Nick Cave, and Björk. Live Nation has ceased all business in Russia, and Spotify has closed its Moscow offices indefinitely. Last week, Pink Floyd and David Gilmour announced that the band were removing their music from digital platforms in Russia and Belarus. Universal Music Group has also suspended its operations in Russia.
