Arcade Fire lead parade in David Bowie's honour through NYC festival

25 July 2016, 12:37 | Written by Laurence Day

Arcade Fire led a parade through New York's new Panorama fest over the weekend - and you can watch it online now.

As Arcade Fire's bill-topping set drew to a close, the Canadian outfit started a parade through the huge crowd with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band - performing tracks of Bowie's such as "Heroes" and "Suffragette City". This isn't the first time Win Butler & Co. have led a Bowie-themed parade; earlier this year they shared a documentary about their David Bowie Tribute Parade in New Orleans.

Panorama - a huge event from the minds behind Coachella - also saw Kendrick Lamar and LCD Soundsystem headline.

Watch "Heroes" from Arcade Fire's tribute parade below, and some fan-shot clips after.

Arcade Fire is to pure and perfect for this world. They hooked up with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for a David Bowie second line across the field at the main stage. Cross this one off the bucket list #panoramanyc #arcadefire
