MGMT Live Performance at Lollapalooza with Exclusive Interview

Venue: Grant Park Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States Date: August 8, 2010

In August 2010, MGMT took center stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago, right on the heels of their critically acclaimed second album, 'Congratulations,' which was released just a few months prior in April. This marked a significant moment in their career as they navigated the challenge of following up their breakout debut 'Oracular Spectacular.' The live performance showcased their evolving sound, which leaned more experimental and less pop than before. An interesting nugget? During this show, they not only delivered lively renditions of hits like 'Electric Feel' but also opened up in an interview about their musical direction and the pressures of fame. It's a snapshot of MGMT's journey, reflecting their shift from being pop darlings to artistic risk-takers, encapsulating both the excitement and uncertainty that comes with growth in the music industry.
