Wilco Live Performance of Handshake Drugs at Best Kept Secret Festival
In June 2016, when Wilco performed "Handshake Drugs" at the Best Kept Secret festival in Hilvarenbeek, they were riding waves from their 2015 album "Star Wars." This record marked a pivotal moment for Wilco, showcasing their willingness to explore new sounds, blending rock with experimental elements. "Star Wars" was released as a free download, reflecting both a shift in the music industry and the band's creative openness. At this festival, the energy was palpable, demonstrating how well-received their newer work was alongside classic fan favorites. Plus, performing in such a verdant setting provided a lively backdrop for their rich, layered sound, drawing in both die-hard fans and curious festival-goers. With a reputation for dynamic live performances, Wilco continued to solidify their status as one of America's premier alternative rock bands, blending both the old and the new.
