Franz Ferdinand

In the summer of 2009, Franz Ferdinand was in the vibrant phase of promoting their album "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand," which had been released earlier that year. This live recording from Glastonbury captures the energy of a band riding high on the waves of success, showcasing tracks like 'Take Me Out' and 'No You Girls,' both fan favorites. What's particularly interesting is how this festival performance coincides with the band's shift in sound—a bit more experimental and layered than their earlier, more straightforward rock. During the show, you can feel the palpable excitement of the crowd, something that really highlights the connection the band has with their audience. It’s also worth noting that this performance was part of a significant time for festivals, where bands like Franz Ferdinand were redefining indie rock on a massive stage.
