MGMT Live Performance of 'Time to Pretend' at Lollapalooza Festival
During the vibrant summer of 2010, MGMT was riding high on the success of their sophomore album, "Congratulations," which had been released just a few months prior in April. This album marked a notable shift in their sound from the infectious pop hooks of their debut, "Oracular Spectacular," venturing into more experimental territory. Their performance of "Time to Pretend" at Lollapalooza in Grant Park not only showcased this evolution but also highlighted how the band was embracing the changing landscape of indie music. Interestingly, they took this opportunity to blend their earlier crowd-pleasers with their newer, more complex material, proving their artistic growth. That day at Lollapalooza, MGMT’s eclectic vibe and stage presence truly captured the festival's spirit and solidified their status as a must-watch live act during that unforgettable summer.
