MGMT Live Performance of 'The Youth' at Firefly 2013 in Dover, Delaware

Date: June 21, 2013

In June 2013, MGMT performed 'The Youth' live at the Firefly Music Festival, a moment that marked an exciting phase in their career. The performance came shortly after the release of their self-titled third album, 'MGMT,' which had dropped just a few weeks earlier on September 2013. This album represented a bold shift from their earlier hits, embracing a more experimental sound that diverged from the catchy melodies of their debut, 'Oracular Spectacular.' Fans were eager to see how the band’s evolving artistry unfolded in a live setting. It was a period of transformation for MGMT, as they navigated their identity in the music world, moving beyond mere pop hits while still delivering an engaging experience for their audience. Their live shows during this era offered a glimpse into their commitment to artistic integrity, even as they challenged listeners with new material and sounds.
