MGMT

At the time of this electrifying live performance at Rock Werchter in 2014, MGMT had just released their third studio album, 'MGMT', in 2013. This album marked a departure from their earlier sound found in 'Oracular Spectacular', where hits like 'Kids' originated. The live recording captures the band during a transitional period, as they navigated the complexities of their evolving musical identity. Interestingly, 'MGMT' received mixed reviews, with critics noting the bold experimentation, contrasting sharply with the infectious, synth-heavy vibes that fans loved. Performing 'Kids' in front of a festival crowd underscores how this track, a classic anthem of youthful exuberance, continued to resonate, even as MGMT explored more avant-garde paths. It’s a moment where nostalgia meets a new direction, reminding us how artists can bridge their past while stepping into the unknown.
