Watch Arcade Fire Cover Boyz II Men’s ‘Motown Philly’ In Philadelphia

Arcade Fire are midway through their world tour, which lands in Glastonbury this June.

Watch Arcade Fire Cover Boyz II Men’s ‘Motown Philly’ In Philadelphia

Glastonbury headliners Arcade Fire are treating their current world tour as an excuse to perform lots and lots of covers.

Over in Minneapolis, they covered Prince’s ‘Controversy’. In Detroit, ‘Uptight (Everything’s Alright)’ by Stevie Wonder. They dressed up as Rob Ford in Toronto and played ‘Young Lions’ by Constantines. Needless to say they’re having quite a lot of fun.

Their latest tribute arrived during a Philadelphia, with Win Butler and co. running through a rendition of ‘Motown Philly’ by Boyz II Men. Think back to last year’s shows in London and ‘The Reflektors’ played ‘I’m So Bored Of The U.S.A’ by the Clash. New city, new cover. Don’t expect the latest cover to be their last.
