MGMT Performs 'Kids' Live at Glastonbury Festival 2014

Venue: Worthy Farm Location: Pilton, England, United Kingdom Date: June 28, 2014

In June 2014, when MGMT performed "Kids" at the Glastonbury Festival, the band was in a transitional phase of their career following the release of their self-titled third album, "MGMT," in September 2013. This album marked a departure from the more mainstream sound of their earlier work, particularly their debut "Oracular Spectacular," and their sophomore effort "Congratulations." The change was met with mixed reviews, highlighting a shift towards a more experimental approach. Notably, "Kids," one of their most iconic tracks from their debut album, remained a fan favorite and a staple in their live shows, reflecting their roots while they navigated their evolving musical identity. This performance at Glastonbury, known for its vibrant atmosphere, showcased their ability to still engage a large crowd with a blend of nostalgia and new material, emphasizing their ongoing relevance in the indie rock scene.
