• Each member of Arcade Fire plays multiple instruments both in the studio and on stage, including hurdy gurdy, violin, cello, viola, guitars, drums, bass, cymbals, French horn, accordion, xylophone and harp. During live events, band members sometimes climb around the stage using parts of the set and venue as instruments.
• Win Butler's first name is short for Edwin. He was born Edwin Farnham Butler, III.
• Win Butler and Regine Chassagne co-wrote the music for the 2009 film The Box, staring Cameron Diaz and James Marsden.
• Band member William Butler, the brother of vocalist Win Butler, attended Northwestern University to study poetry in creative writing and Slavic studies. He attended Northwestern after both he and Win graduated from the prestigious Philip Exeter Academy, a boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire.
• Multi-instrumentalist Sarah Neufeld formed the instrumental rock band Bell Orchestre in 1999 with fellow Arcade Fire member Richard Reed Parry and former Arcade Fire member Pietro Amato.
• Win Butler said, "I don't listen to our records that much, but I feel I can hear the times we went through in that recording. Music is about trying to put across where you're at and expressing something. My favorite Neil Young record is 'After the Gold Rush' ... 'Harvest' has these amazing songs and this amazing production, but there's something really direct about 'After the Gold Rush' - and you could tell that he was in a different place."
• Tim Kingsbury, who plays bass, guitar, and keyboards in the band, has toured and played with Wolf Parade, Clark and The New International Standards.
• They recorded their album The Suburbs as analog as possible, using a 24-track tape machine and a 1940s-era mixing board that ran on actual vacuum tubes. Taking it one step further, every song was then pressed on a 12-inch vinyl disc that was played back to create the digital version.
• Win and Will Butler have strong musical roots. Their grandfather, Alvino Rey, was a famous big-band musician and inventor of the pedal steel guitar and their grandmother, Luise King Rey, was one of the harmonizing King Sisters who cut a swath through big-band America in the 1940s. Win Butler told The Daily Telegraph: "Our family is super-musical, there's nothing less shocking than being a musician. It would have been shocking if we'd become accountants."
• The first song Regine Chassagne and Win Butler ever wrote together, back in 2002 before they were married, was called "Headlights Look Like Diamonds."
• Arcade Fire were named after a story Win Butler was told about an arcade being set alight in Exeter, Canada.
• Win Butler first met Regine Chassagne when she was singing jazz standards at an art exhibition in Montreal. He recalled to Q magazine, "She had a really cool spirit about her. When she sang, people really paid attention."
• On October 30, 2025, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne announced their separation after 22 years of marriage. They stated that their relationship as creative partners will continue, and Arcade Fire as a band will remain active.
  
  The couple married in 2003, with Chassagne supporting Butler publicly in 2022 over allegations of sexual misconduct.
