MGMT Live Performance of Flash Delirium at Glastonbury Festival 2010
In June 2010, MGMT delivered a vibrant live performance of 'Flash Delirium' at Glastonbury, a testament to their rising creative journey. This was right around the time they were promoting their sophomore album, 'Congratulations,' which dropped just a few months earlier in April 2010. Unlike their breakthrough debut, 'Oracular Spectacular,' this album marked a shift towards a more experimental sound, reflecting their desire to avoid being pigeonholed as a pop band. Fans were buzzing with excitement, as MGMT began to carve out a niche that embraced psychedelic elements and narrative depth. Their performance at Glastonbury wasn't just a routine gig; it encapsulated a transitional period where the band aimed to mellow their sound while still keeping their knack for engaging hooks. Surrounding the festival atmosphere, this recording captures the essence of MGMT on the cusp of evolution, connecting deeply with a live crowd eager for more than just evergreens.
