Hundreds locked out of show

In what was one of the hottest tickets in Austin tonight (March 14), MGMT performed an impressively tight set, complete with an awesome light show.

The band's David Bowie-meets-Pink Floyd performance saw hundreds of festival-goers left out of Stubb's BBQ as the venue reached capacity shortly before they took to the stage.

Enjoying the warm evening at the show were Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill, Jason Stollsteimer from The Von Bondies and The Wombats.

MGMT played:

'Weekend Wars'
'Future Reflections'
'4th Dimensional Transition'
'Pieces Of What?'
'Time To Pretend'
'The Handshake'
'Electric Feel'
'Of Birds, Moons And Monsters'
