MGMT Live Performance of Kids at Bonnaroo Music Festival
In June 2008, MGMT delivered a memorable performance of their hit "Kids" at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, a moment that truly captured their rise to fame. This was just after the release of their debut album, *Oracular Spectacular*, which had dropped in October 2007 and contained other indie anthems like "Time to Pretend". By this time, the band was riding high on the success of their catchy sound and eclectic style, gaining attention and critical acclaim. The live recording showcases their unique blend of psychedelic pop and indie rock, often praised for energetic performances that connected deeply with their audience. Interestingly, *Oracular Spectacular* has since been recognized as a defining record of the era, solidifying MGMT's place in music history. Their Bonnaroo set not only highlighted their breakout moment but also hinted at a transformative shift in popular music during that period.
