Watch Arcade Fire’s Win Butler join Future Islands on stage at Vermont show

For the second time in the space of a few months, Arcade Fire’s Win Butler decided to join Future Islands on stage.

The frontman was watching on at a private party in Burlington, Vermont, before heading up on stage and joining in for a quick verse in ‘Seasons (Waiting On You)’, from last year’s breakthrough LP ‘Singles’.

Last year, Butler performed the very same feat while in his home city of Montreal. Footage of last night’s quick collaboration can be seen below, as picked out by ArcadeFireTube.

Future Islands are in the UK this week, performing as part of The Strokes’ BST Hyde Park date on 18th June.
