The National

In July 2013, The National delivered a captivating live performance of 'Terrible Love' at the Opener Festival in Gdynia, Poland. By this point in their career, they had just released 'Trouble Will Find Me' in May of that year, which was met with critical acclaim and showcased their characteristic blend of introspection and grand sonic landscapes. This album solidified their status as one of indie rock's leading bands, following the success of 'High Violet' that had propelled them into the mainstream. An interesting fact about this festival performance is how frontman Matt Berninger engaged with the audience, walking among them as he sang, creating an intimate atmosphere despite the grand scale of the event. It’s a quintessential snapshot of a band at the peak of their artistic expression, making each note resonate with both vulnerability and power.
