MGMT Live Performance of 'Kids' at Quilmes Rock 2012

Date: April 28, 2012

In April 2012, during the Quilmes Rock festival in Argentina, MGMT delivered a captivating live performance of their hit song "Kids." This performance came just two years after the release of their sophomore album, "Congratulations" (2010), which marked a shift from the band’s earlier, more commercially successful debut album. With a more experimental sound, they aimed to push boundaries while maintaining their whimsical essence. Interestingly, by this time, MGMT was navigating the complexities of fame and artistic authenticity, diving deeper into themes that resonated personally while still captivating audiences. Their live shows during this period were a blend of psychedelic flair and heightened soundscapes, revealing the band’s evolution. The Quilmes Rock performance not only showcased their hits but also highlighted their ongoing experimentation in the indie rock scene.
