Arcade Fire have announced “The Lightning I, II,” their first new single in three years. The song will arrive on Thursday, March 17. The announcement follows a series of mysterious postcards that the band sent to fans. The postcards and a graphic for the new song say, “We missed you.”

Arcade Fire’s last album was 2017’s Everything Now. Two years later, they shared a cover of “Baby Mine” for Dumbo. More recently, the band performed an as-yet-unreleased song called “Generation A” on Stephen Colbert’s Election Night 2020 and made “Memories of the Age of Anxiety” for the Headspace app. Arcade Fire have been promising a new album since 2020. That same year, they celebrated the 10th anniversary of their 2010 album The Suburbs.

Tonight, Arcade Fire are performing at New Orleans’ Toulouse Theatre. Proceeds from the show will go to proceeds going to Plus1’s Ukraine Relief Fund.
