MGMT

In August 2012, MGMT graced the Sands Steel Stage at Lollapalooza in Santiago, Chile, presenting an electrifying performance just two years after the release of their album 'Congratulations' in 2010. This album diverged from their debut, 'Oracular Spectacular,' showcasing a more experimental sound that puzzled some fans, yet it highlighted their growth as artists. By this time, MGMT was exploring themes of disillusionment and identity, which resonated deeply with their audience. An interesting fact about this live performance is that 'Time to Pretend,' one of their most iconic tracks from their debut album, became a staple in their setlist, symbolizing a blend of nostalgia and evolving artistry. The juxtaposition of their older hits with newer material at such a vibrant festival captured a unique moment in their career, emphasizing their journey from indie darlings to seasoned performers.
