The War on Drugs

In this live performance from the 80/35 Festival on July 7, 2023, The War on Drugs showcased their captivating energy and signature sound at Western Gateway Park in Des Moines, Iowa. Just before this gig, the band had released their highly acclaimed album 'I Don’t Live Here Anymore' in 2021, which marked a significant moment in their career as it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Notably, this particular show gained some buzz due to a power problem that delayed their set, leading to anxious anticipation among fans. Their live rendition of 'Under the Pressure' not only highlights their epic soundscapes but also their growth since reaching broader audiences with more mainstream acclaim. This festival appearance continues to solidify their standing as a melodic powerhouse in the indie rock landscape.
