They're going to play Kids. They've soundchecked it numerous times. I don't think MGMT will be joining them though, although I could be wrong.

"Kids" is such a fucking terrible song. It's basically just a loop of the "Everytime you close your eyes" bit from Arcade Fire's "Rebellion" with ineffectual lyrics and a dumb synth line. Do not understand.

According to the Bell House website, Field Music can't make it. However, if you purchase a ticket, you still see every other act, plus get free admission to the Field Music rescheduled date.
