The Afghan Whigs

The Afghan Whigs performed at the Haldern Pop Festival on August 11, 2012, following the release of their album "Do to the Beast," which came out in April 2014. This performance marked a significant moment in their career, as it was part of a resurgence after a lengthy hiatus from 2001 to 2012. The setlist for the Haldern Pop Festival included tracks like "Gentlemen," which is from their critically acclaimed 1993 album of the same name, showcasing their rich history and evolution as a band. Notably, "Gentlemen" was a pivotal album that helped define the alternative rock sound of the 1990s, and this live recording illustrates the band's ability to blend their classic hits with new material, reflecting their longevity and continued relevance in the music scene. Additionally, the festival setting allowed them to connect with a diverse audience, further solidifying their comeback.
