The band Arcade Fire was expected to draw a large crowd to a performance outside the Capitol Records building in Hollywood on Tuesday evening to roll out the new album “Reflektor.”
The event was set for rush hour at the company’s Vine Street headquarters in central Hollywood, just off the 101 Freeway.
Doors were expected to open at 5 p.m. and the performance was set to begin at 6:30 p.m.
Vine Street was slated to closed between Hollywood Boulevard and Yucca Street, a Capitol Records spokeswoman said. Between 2,000 and 3,000 people were expected at the show.
The Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollywood Station warned people in Twitter to avoid the area due to heavy traffic in the area of Vine, Yucca Street and Argyle Avenue, all of which border the Capitol Records’ iconic tower.
Attendees were told via email to wear their best attempt to “Be a Reflektor,” with a Pinterest page provided for inspiration. Tickets were free but available by invitation or via social media challenges on musicexperiment.com.
The show was being put on in conjunction with the Music Experiment 2.0, an Intel and MTV site that planned to stream the performance online, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Tickets to the Montreal-based band’s Halloween performance at the Hollywood Palladium reportedly sold out in minutes on Saturday.
The band, which won an “Album of the Year” Grammy in 2010 for “The Suburbs,” its last release, is performing the Los Angeles shows and other concerts under the name The Reflektors.
