DENVER — Montreal’s Arcade Fire will play its only North American show of 2024 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre to mark the 20th anniversary of landmark album “Funeral.”

The LP, which launched the band’s influential sing-along anthems in the early 2000s, was released on Sept. 14, 2004, by indie stalwart Merge Records. Arcade Fire’s 20th anniversary show will take place only a couple days later (give or take 20 years), on Sept. 16 at Red Rocks.

The band, however, will be playing other shows this year outside of North America — in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Portugal and England.

Tickets went on sale Friday via axs.com. No opener has been announced.

 

“To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Funeral, this fall we will be playing one show in North America, at one of our favorite venues: Red Rocks Amphitheatre on September 16,” according to the band’s Instagram account. “We hope you will join us.”

The band’s anniversary arrives amid a cloud over its lead singer, Win Butler, who was alleged to have engaged in sexual misconduct and manipulated women in a late 2022 investigation by Pitchfork. Since then, openers such as Feist and Beck have dropped off Arcade Fire shows and, in Feist’s case, expressed disappointment over the reports.

Butler has said all of the alleged interactions were consensual, Pitchfork reported.
