In April 2011, Arcade Fire was riding the wave of their Grammy-winning success from their 2010 album, "The Suburbs," which had elevated their profile significantly in the music industry. Their performance of "Wake Up" at Coachella, part of the 2011 festival line-up, exemplified their emerging status as one of the leading indie rock bands. Notably, "Wake Up" has become one of their signature songs, often associated with anthemic energy and emotional resonance, further solidifying their impact on live music. By the time of this performance, Arcade Fire had already completed a substantial world tour supporting "The Suburbs," showcasing their elaborate stage presence and eclectic instrumentation that would become hallmarks of their concerts. The Coachella performance underscored their vibrant live act, setting the stage for future projects while later being featured in the documentary celebrating the festival's legacy.
