Arcade Fire was the musical guests for the Season Premiere of NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, hosted by Tina Fey.

The group first appeared on the sketch comedy in a hilarious bit in which Fey attempted to tell the difference between them and the show's newest castmembers. They went on to perform two songs from next month's Reflektor album for the first time on television. Below, check out their performance of the title track from their fourth album, 'Reflektor.'
