Beck drops out as opening act for Arcade Fireplace’s North American leg of tour
Reside Nation has confirmed American musician Beck will now not be opening for the North American leg of Arcade Fireplace’s We tour, which begins on the finish of October.
A media spokesperson for the leisure firm didn’t present a cause for Beck’s cancellation, and mentioned the opener will as a substitute be Haitian band Boukman Eksperyans.
Canadian musician Leslie Feist introduced in early September that she was leaving Arcade Fireplace’s tour after sexual misconduct allegations have been made in opposition to lead singer Win Butler.
Feist had been booked as opening act for the European leg of the Montreal band’s newest tour, which kicked off in Dublin on the finish of August.
The live shows went forward simply days after U.S. music publication Pitchfork ran an article in late August containing allegations Butler had inappropriate sexual interactions with 4 individuals.
Some followers say they’re disturbed by accusations of sexual misconduct in opposition to Arcade Fireplace frontman Win Butler. However the band’s new tour is continuing, at the same time as some demand ticket refunds. Correction: At 1:00 on this video Daniel Seligman is misidentified
In a press release, Butler has denied the allegations, and mentioned all encounters came about between consenting adults and he by no means touched a lady in opposition to her will or demanded sexual favours.
Arcade Fireplace’s scheduled Canadian stops on the We tour embody Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver.
