Cage the Elephant

Cage the Elephant was experiencing a period of significant evolution in their career around the time of the live recording in January 2024. Their last studio album prior to this performance was "Social Cues," which was released in April 2019. This album marked a critical point for the band, showcasing a blend of their signature alternative rock sound with elements of new wave and post-punk. Additionally, "Social Cues" was heavily influenced by lead singer Matt Shultz's personal struggles, particularly following the death of a close friend. Thus, the live performance at Bonnaroo 2024 likely reflected the band's growth and maturity since then. Furthermore, the band had been known for their dynamic live shows, and this performance would have continued their legacy of energetic and captivating concerts, drawing on their extensive discography and evolving sound as they engaged with fans in a festival setting.
