I would definitely not be “hip and trendy” enough.

Guests maintain possession of their phones throughout the night, and if needed, may access their phones at designated Yondr unlocking stations in the lobby.
WHAT TO WEAR:
Our dress code is HIP & TRENDY as if you are going to a concert or night out with friends! The event is standing-room-only so please plan accordingly. PLEASE DO NOT WEAR shorts, large logos, flip flops, tank tops, crop tops, baseball hats, solid white or red clothing. We reserve the right to deny entry to anyone dressed inappropriately.

Pardon my foul language but I just have to ask: what is this cock nonsense? Are they secretly pranking everyone.

 

They're probably filming it. Not a huge deal imo

 

If I recall, this is typical for them. I remember similar nonsense about a dress code for their arena tour a few years back.

 

This just seems so pretentiously douchey.

 

I'd understand if they are filming the show. If not, this is the stupidest thing ever

 

lol

 

Lol I'm glad I have never cared even one iota for this band. "Hip & Trendy Dress Code" fuck out of here.

 

I bet fans of this band eat it up, but this is not a good look.

EDIT: Nevermind this looks like more of their weird marketing for this record.

The Arcade Dumpster Fire.

 

Stupid pretentious hipster shit right here. Bunch of Bougie snobs

 

Lotta people with no style in this thread.

 

Update:

 

If they're recording the show for release, this would make sense. Otherwise probably just a publicity stunt.

 

yeah this is definitely not a first, they tried this a few years ago and got major flack for it and ended up reversing it haha

 

Has a band loved so much ever gotten so annoying so fast?

 

no jokes allowed

 

this is starting to get awkward haha. The band had no idea about this dress code, someone literally took it upon themselves to come up with it assuming it was a cool idea.

 

suppose its an unpopular opinion but this band was never very great to begin with imo

 

I mean, the show is in Brooklyn. I'll be shocked to see a crowd that isn't mostly "hip and trendy".

 

lol lame.

 

Is that a thing, to pretend you're pretending to do what you're actually doing?

 

I think a forced "dress code" is kinda lame. That being said, it's kinda fun to get a little spiffed up with my lady and go to an event. Makes it a little more special!

 

Stop replying to this thead without reading this first

Sorry, but the dress code for Arcade Fire’s Brooklyn show wasn’t the band’s idea
