Arcade Fire wrapped their surprise four-night residency at the Bowery Ballroom in New York last night. The evening had special appearances from Talking Heads icon and American Utopia creator David Byrne along with comedian Mike Myers.

Like the days before, the show was announced hours before the doors opened and were sold on a pay-what-you-can basis, with all proceeds going to the Plus1 Ukraine Relief fun. The evening saw the 600-person venue filled completely. After the initial sets, Myers stepped on stage to give a short speech: “You can have the government you want, but once you lose democracy, you are fucked. And so, for the people of Ukraine, I just want to say keep fighting, we’ll support you. Democracy is the way to go.” He went on to say that his parents fought fascists during World War II, and the war in Ukraine “is a real thing,” he went on to say, “We’ve all been in Covid hibernation. And now, ladies and gentlemen — it’s time to wake up.”

Byrne–a longtime Arcade Fire booster who has collaborated with them several times in New York, including at Irving Plaza in 2005 and Barclay’s Center in 2014–then joined Arcade Fire on stage for an encore cover of John Lennon and Plastic Ono Band’s 1969 “Give Peace a Chance.” The encore also included Arcade Fire’s own peace anthem and a nod to Myers’ speech “Wake Up” and the debut of their new song “Unconditional I (Lookout Kid),” off their upcoming studio album WE.

Like the previous performances, after the show was over, Arcade Fire took the music outside on foot and led a crowd through the streets and down to the subway stations before heading back to the venue to close the evening.
