The upcoming show will mark the sixth appearance of Arcade Fire on SNL. They first performed on the show in November 2007 to promote their album “Neon Bible,” and their most recent appearance was in May 2022 for their album “We.”

In February, the band took the stage with David Byrne and St. Vincent to cover David Bowie’s “Heroes” during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of SNL.

Earlier this month, Win Butler announced that the group released their new album “Pink Elephant,” unveiling the first single “The Year of the Snake” and the title track on April 25. Their upcoming SNL appearance will follow the release of the LP on May 9 and precede a special concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 14. Get your tickets here.

The band also confirmed that instrumentalist Richard Reed Parry will miss the “Pink Elephant” performance due to being on vacation.

The complete record “Pink Elephant” features the band’s exploration of “cinematic mystical punk.” The album spans 42 minutes and consists of 10 new songs, all recorded in Butler’s studio in New Orleans. Pre-order here.

“Pink Elephant” marks the first Arcade Fire album since the 2022 allegations of sexual misconduct against Butler. In response to the accusations, Butler expressed regret for anyone he might have offended but maintained that “all these relationships were consensual.”

The season finale of SNL will mark Bad Bunny’s third appearance on the show, following performances in February 2021 and a dual role as host and musical guest in October 2023.

Bad Bunny’s performance will come ahead of his upcoming 21-day residency in his hometown of Puerto Rico. He will also star alongside Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore 2, which premieres on Netflix on July 25.
