Hello MGMT cats and dogs,

This is MGMT here with a big announcement so listen up! We will be returning to the stage for the first time in nearly four years on May 13th at Just Like Heaven Festival @jlheavenfest in Pasadena, and we’ll be doing a unique MGMT performance… pic.twitter.com/3fv5YGQXo4

In a statement to social media, the band wrote, “We will be returning to the stage for the first time in nearly four years on May 13th at Just Like Heaven Festival in Pasadena, and we’ll be doing a unique MGMT performance, featuring our entire first album, Oracular Spectacular. We’ve stocked up on rust remover and are constructing a state-of-the-art elf workshop so as to attempt to provide the most experimental live show since we were wee lads playing hockey in the middle of songs etc.”

They continued by writing, “Furthermore, keep checking back in with us because we’ve been making some fun new recordings and have a fancy new album (LOL) that should be finished at some point this year, which is the year 2023.”
