Midnight Oil

In 2019, when Midnight Oil performed "Beds Are Burning" live in Paris, the band was experiencing a significant revival after a lengthy hiatus. This performance came during their "The Great Circle" tour, which began in 2017 and marked their first major tour in over two decades. The band had released their most recent studio album, "Ghosts of the Machine," in 2022, but before this, they re-released their classic albums and re-engaged with fans through a series of live performances, celebrating their legacy. The song "Beds Are Burning," originally from their acclaimed album "Diesel and Dust" (1987), remains one of their most iconic tracks, addressing social and environmental issues. Interestingly, this live performance not only showcased the band's enduring energy but also reinforced their commitment to activism, a defining element of their identity throughout their career.
