Arcade Fire & Foo Fighters to back Mick Jagger on SNL


Yes, you read that right. As we previously reported, Mick Jagger is set to play (and host) Saturday Night Live’s season finale. A big event, to say the least. Now add Arcade Fire and Foo Fighters to it, and it becomes, dare we say, titanic.

I’d wondered how Jagger would perform sans the Stones, and now have an answer, albeit grander than I’d ever imagined. Both bands will play as the legend’s backing band. Basically, make sure you have your schedule cleared the evening of May 19th.
