Arcade Fire performed “Everything Now,” from their Grammy-nominated album of the same name, at the 2018 Juno Awards, an annual televised ceremony honoring achievements in Canadian music.
This year’s event was hosted by Michael Buble and in addition to performing on Sunday night, Arcade Fire also received the Album of the Year Award and the International Achievement Award, making them the first band to receive the latter award, which had previously been awarded to Drake, Celine Dion and Shania Twain, as CoS points out.
In Win Butler’s acceptance speech for the band he said, “It’s really hard to keep a group together. We’ve been around for 15 years, and I just want to say thank you to everyone for sticking with it.” Butler also tipped his hat to the people participating in the March for Our Lives protests on Saturday, saying, “Canada is just a beautiful example of how it just doesn’t have to be like that.”
However, the band did not sweep all the awards they were nominated for. The Montreal band’s Everything Now lost to Toronto’s Alvvays for their album Antisocialites in the Alternative Album of the Year category.
