I was in the middle of the crowd, got in there early as I knew it was going to be the band to see. Have to say of all the gigs i've been to over the years for atmosphere alone this was right up there.
I couldn't get my camera out of my bag, I was so squashed :) I had a line of bruises where the metal barrier had mashed against me! But fuck, wasn't it incredible?
Was great at the end loads of people started leaving after time to pretend because the music stopped for a few seconds and then kids came on and we all ran back in and everything went nuts again.
"MGMT is very grateful that no one (that we know of) got hurt at the performance at Oxegen Festival in Ireland. That was far and away the craziest crowd we have ever had the privilege to play in front of!" rom there Myspace:)
I taut de first 2/3 songs wer dull enuf but afta d tent climbin it changed dramatically... Unreal atmosphere... Dis song has been stuck in my head since :D
I was a bit disappointed at the start of MGMT actually I thought their first few songs were kind of boring, but after the whole climbing on the roof thing (F*£$ing idiots) when they played Electric feel, Time to Pretend and Kids, it was amazing, especially when they'd finished and the whole crowd walked out of the tent singing Kids together, it was class!
Am I the only one who thinks this lot are a bit overrated?? After numerous recomendations from other festival goers and seeing a massive crowd hurtling to get in I was expecting more than another identikit indie shoegazer band. I was pretty bored by their first 3 tunes.... did they improve later?? Had to fight through an angry mob to get out lol!!
I agree. I dragged all my friends and they were like what the hell at the beginning, then we were amused by the suicidal nutters and finally fabulously entertained by the secong half. Love them.
Their set was savage! I was right at the very front, and centre... and never before have I been crushed and molested to the same extent! They were quite simply amazing! The atmosphere was... intense! Even when they left in the middle! As for your one that climbed out the top of the tent.. what a feckin' eejit!
Best act Ive seen. Never seen a crowd ignite like that in my life lol. FUcking InsaNE?!!??!
