MGMT Live Performance of Time to Pretend at Firefly Music Festival

Venue: The Woodlands of Dover International Speedway Location: Dover, Delaware, United States Date: June 22, 2013

In June 2013, MGMT took the stage at the Firefly Music Festival, right after the release of their self-titled album in September 2013. This marked a significant moment in their career as they shifted from their earlier psychedelic sound toward a more experimental indie pop vibe. The performance, showcasing their iconic hit 'Time to Pretend,' happened just weeks before fans would get to experience the new material—an album that sparked various reactions, transitioning the band’s style and approach. Fun fact: The band was known for their whimsical performances filled with vibrant visuals, and this live set captured that spirit beautifully. In essence, this concert represented both a celebration of their past hits and a tease for what was on the horizon, blending nostalgia with anticipation.
