On Thursday, Arcade Fire are playing a free show at the ornate Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn to celebrate the impending release of their album Everything Now. They'll be locking phones and smart watches into signal-proof bags (the kind familiar to Paisley Park visitors), and attendees are being asked to honor a dress code described as "HIP & TRENDY."

An e-mail to ticket buyers asks fans, "PLEASE DO NOT WEAR shorts, large logos, flip flops, tank tops, crop tops, baseball hats, solid white or red clothing." That's not just for the benefit of the band: video of the show is going to be live-streamed on Apple Music. (Brooklyn Vegan)

Update: According to Arcade Fire leader Win Butler, the dress code "100 percent did not come from the band." The band say fans should "wear whatever you want to any show." (BBC)

In anticipation of the show, Butler tweeted this 1986 ad for the venue.

Peter Frampton storms at screens in Red Wing

During a concert on Sunday night, Peter Frampton wasn't thrilled that the camera operators at Treasure Island Resort and Casino kept showing shots of a fan holding his old albums aloft.

According to the Star Tribune, the rock star "let out a two-word expletive" before walking off stage. Only when the screens were deactivated did Frampton return to finish his set.
