THOUSANDS TURNED OUT last night to see Arcade Fire take to the stage at Dublin’s 3Arena.
And while performing a stormer of a gig, the Canadian act took time to pay tribute to one of the greatest female rock stars Ireland has ever produced – Dolores O’Riordan.
In memory of the Limerick singer, whose untimely death in January sent shockwaves throughout the music industry, the band played an accoustic version of Linger.
And with the audience joining in, the moment marked one of the most memorable of the gig.
The tribute formed a segue into Everything Now, and for anyone who wasn’t lucky enough to nab a ticket, it makes for bittersweet viewing.

...@arcadefire singing Linger last night was really something else. A moment I’ll hold dear and never let go of. I bawled. Such a brilliant gig.
