MGMT Performance of Time to Pretend at Sasquatch Festival
In May 2017, MGMT performed ‘Time to Pretend’ at the iconic Gorge Amphitheatre, a stunning backdrop that has hosted many legendary artists. At this juncture in their career, MGMT had recently released their album ‘Little Dark Age’ in February 2018, marking a notable return to form after several years of exploration and experimentation. The live performance at Sasquatch highlighted their ability to captivate audiences, bringing a fresh energy to a song that had become synonymous with their early success. Fun fact: ‘Time to Pretend’ not only was a staple of their debut album ‘Oracular Spectacular’ but has also become a cultural touchstone, often reflecting the bittersweet realities of youth and ambition. It's fascinating to see how their music evolved over the years, yet certain themes remained ever relevant.
