During the January 1, 2009 live performance at the Glastonbury Festival, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were in the phase of their career following the release of their acclaimed album "It's Blitz!" which came out in March 2009. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating more electronic elements and a broader pop appeal compared to their earlier garage rock style. By the time of the Glastonbury performance, the band had already garnered a reputation for their high-energy shows and artistic visuals, highlighted by lead singer Karen O's flamboyant stage presence. Their performance of "Date With The Night" at such a major festival showcased their ability to captivate large audiences and solidified their status as one of the leading indie rock bands of that era. The live recording reflects the band's growing mainstream recognition and the audience's enthusiastic reception of their music.
