On Wednesday night, Arcade Fire shared the stage with The Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde during a London stop on their ongoing tour. Hynde joined Arcade Fire on stage at London’s Wembley Arena to play a rendition of a classic Pretenders song “Don’t Get Me Wrong,” off their 1986 album Get Close. Hynde then returned once more during the band’s encore to perform Arcade Fire’s closer, “Wake Up,” a performance that filled the stage with musicians, including the show’s openers, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and a guest appearance by The National’s Bryce Dessner (according to NME).
Arcade Fire shared on Twitter Thursday morning a video of Hynde and frontman Win Butler, preparing for the show.
