Midnight Oil

In January 1994, during the Hultsfred Festival in Sweden, Midnight Oil was at a pivotal moment in their career, promoting their album "Earth and Sun and Moon," which was released in 1993. This album marked a continuation of their distinctive blend of rock and politically charged lyrics, further establishing their presence on the international stage. The live performance captured in the video features the songs "The Dead Heart" and "Beds Are Burning," both of which are significant in the band's catalog, highlighting their focus on indigenous rights and environmental issues. Notably, Midnight Oil was known for their high-energy performances and commitment to activism, with lead singer Peter Garrett famously using his platform to advocate for social change. This concert reflects the band's ability to engage a global audience, deepening their impact as both musicians and activists.
