Arcade Fire Share 21-Minute Horror Film Festi, Featuring Peter Gabriel, The National, James Murphy, Fleet Foxes, Andrew Garfield, More

Arcade Fire are celebrating Halloween with a special treat for their fans: a bizarre, 21-minute horror film titled Festi. It was directed by "Noreen Bauble", one of the band's previously-used pseudonyms, and is billed as "a look back at the 2011 summer festival tour" (that's the film's poster, above). The entire band stars in the mini-movie, along with a number of noteworthy figures: James Murphy (as a sad DJ), Fleet Foxes (as bearded singers), Andrew Garfield (Spiderman), and the National (whose Bryce and Aaron Desser play creepy twins), just to name a few. The full cast is listed in the credits, which start around the 21:42 mark.

Festi begins with some nondescript behind-the-scenes footage from 2011, but it doesn't take long before things get spooky. It's Will Butler's 27th birthday, and it's supposed to be a joyous occasion. Being the famous musician that he is, however, he can't escape the curse of the 27 Club – so instead, the evening is marked by murder, intrigue, gore, and the haunting of Jim Morrison. Watch the whole thing below, and be sure to stick around until the end to see Peter Gabriel as a security guard and witness a performance of Guns n' Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine" from – you guessed it – Slash himself. Happy Halloween!

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
