The Afghan Whigs

In 2012, the Afghan Whigs were experiencing a notable resurgence in their career, following a lengthy hiatus that began after their breakup in 2001. The live recording at Primavera Sound on January 1, 2012, occurred shortly after they announced their reunion and their first new album in over a decade, "Do to the Beast," which was released in 2014. At this time, the band was capitalizing on their influential legacy in the alternative rock scene and drawing a diverse audience with their rich blend of rock, soul, and R&B influences. Notably, the performance in San Miguel represented an important moment of reconnection with fans, showcasing both their classic hits and new material—an exciting chapter that laid the groundwork for their later work and demonstrated their enduring impact on the music landscape. The excitement surrounding the reunion reflects their lasting legacy and marked a significant milestone in their evolution as artists.
