@JimmyHillsChin I’m pretty sure it was back in January 2014! That’s a *long* time between visits. Although confess I managed to see them in Zurich in 2018 with a massive burst of travel logistics.

I had feared as much as time passed with no extra explosions of excitement. I will return to waiting impatiently!

@Sandy_Pitcher @LaTrioli @abcnews @abcmelbourne Sadly I think @arcadefire have been confused with @ArcticMonkeys here

[Sandy Pitcher @Sandy_Pitcher]

@LaTrioli @abcnews @abcmelbourne Your final mention of Arcade Fire finally returning to Australia for Falls Festival has raised much excitement … but I can’t find any mention on the interwebs. Is this actually an Arcade Fire *breaking news* moment?

Loved celebrating the individual and collective achievements at the Top50 Public Sector women event and hearing from Rebecca Falkingham. Each recipient represents a huge level of commitment to serving the Victorian community.

Rebecca Falkingham keynote address noted the challenges of the last two years. The pandemic has brought into focus what women have be up against before the pandemic. #Top50PublicSectorWomen
