Arcade Fire kept the music going after their concert in Malahide Castle on Wednesday night by taking things to Whelan's in Dublin City Centre for a live performance and DJ set.
After delighting fans in Malahide with hits like Rebellion (Lies), Reflektor, Neon Bible and many more, Arcade Fire were only getting started for their night in Dublin.
Thank you Dublin. Dance party at whelan's @whelanslive

Tweeting after they left the stage, "Thank you Dublin. Dance party at Whelan's" the band's lead vocalist Win Butler announced the after party, with the Arcade Fire official Twitter retweeting it.

In Whelan's the band took to the (much smaller) stage for a short acoustic performance before Butler manned the DJ decks for an after party.

Fans that happened to be there shared photos from the impromptu secret gig on Twitter, while others tweeted their dismay at missing out on the chance to see the band in such an intimate setting.
I get home from @arcadefire, the best gig I've ever been to, and find out they're playing in whelans as we speak...
