According to Pitchfork, the group is set to perform in Dublin, Ireland, and Fiest will be their special guest. Even though the allegations against the singer are still fresh, their current WE tour has yet to be canceled.

As seen on social media posts, fans shared photos of the merch being sold at the event by Feist. Beside the t-shirt, there's a note that says all proceeds will be donated to Women's Aid Dublin, an organization that aims to prevent and stop domestic violence.

As of this writing, neither the singer nor the band has commented on the matter.

Arcade Fire's Win Butler's SHOCKING Allegations Continue to Spread on Social Media

Over the past few months, many people have spoken to the outlet about Butler's alleged behavior outside of his music career.

Three women first came forward regarding sexual assault allegations, claiming that the age gaps and power dynamics are inappropriate.

The unnamed fans are between the ages of 18 and 23 when their interaction with the singer happened from 2016 to 2020.

The most recent alleged victim is a gender-fluid person who prefers "they/them" pronouns. They alleged that the frontman sexually assaulted them in 2015 when they were 21 years old.

Unfortunately, the encounter happened twice, the first one was when they were in a car and the other one was in their apartment.

At the second encounter the unnamed victim said they told Butler not to come to their home, but he still allegedly showed up.

Win Butler Speaks Out

In a written statement to the outlet, the singer admitted that he had sexual interactions with the people mentioned above, but he insisted that all encounters were consensual.

In a second letter, he apologized to the people whom he hurt with his behavior.

"As I look to the future, I am continuing to learn from my mistakes and working hard to become a better person, someone my son can be proud of," he penned.

He also said sorry that he was not aware of his actions toward other people.
