MGMT Live Performance of Time to Pretend and Kids at Summer Sonic 2019
In August 2019, MGMT performed at Summer Sonic in Chiba, Japan, captivating the audience with a live medley of their hits "Time to Pretend" and "Kids." This performance came shortly after the release of their album "Little Dark Age" in February 2018, which marked a notable stylistic shift for the band, leaning into darker themes and more mature soundscapes compared to their earlier work. Interestingly, "Little Dark Age" reintroduced MGMT to a broader audience and solidified their place in the indie-rock scene after a period of creative experimentation. This live show reflected their journey, as the band was seen blending nostalgic tracks with fresh material, highlighting both their evolution and their roots. Fans were treated to a vibrant performance that encapsulated the playful yet introspective spirit typical of MGMT.
