Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry joins The National on stage at Osheaga

by Michael Joffe

Easily the second most anticipated performance of Osheaga Day 1, behind Arcade Fire of course, The National gave the growing crowd what they came for. Seeing little competition from other acts (with Robyn on the Green stage appealing to a different audience), The National brought out the largest gathering in front of main stage 2 that the day had seen. There was an addition on stage that made the experience that much more special, Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry joined The National for three songs including High Violets, Conversation 16.
