Dublin Arcade Fire gigs to go ahead despite sexual misconduct claims against lead singer

Arcade Fire lead singer Win Butler has been accused of sexual misconduct just days ahead of the band’s concerts in Dublin this week.

Four people allege the indie rock band frontman behaved inappropriately and sent unwanted sexual messages to them between 2015 and 2020. The star, 42, has denied the claims and added: “It is deeply revisionist and frankly just wrong for anyone to suggest otherwise.”

The band have a sold-out gig tomorrow in the 3Arena with limited tickets available for Wednesday. Last night, music promoters MCD said the concerts are going ahead. They added: “Arcade Fire play Dublin’s 3Arena this Tuesday 30th & Wednesday 31st August 2022.”
