For me it was Wolfmother at a major German festival. I didn’t really know them before and did not expect too much, but was totally blown away by their performance.

Cage the Elephant honestly puts on an incredible show.
Beach House is transportative
But I think Sigur Rós is an altogether different experience. They are so so good live. I’ll be seeing them later this year when they have their full orchestra and I’m so excited.
We saw Cage the Elephant and while it was memorable, it was more weird than good. Basically the least sexy strip tease you can imagine, he started out in lots of clothes, layers of clothes like two pairs of pants on top of each other and ended up in running shorts - at one point awkwardly wriggling out of skinny jeans, even. They sounded great but it was kind of awful, like someone had gotten way too high and thought “you know what would be a good idea?”
Last time I saw them was right after their Social Cues album came out. The singer first came out in a black and white stripey outfit, then halfway through came out in a skin suit that was the color of his skin so that it made him look like he was naked.
I honestly thought he gave out awesome energy and they sounded amazing.
Beach House circa Myth, along with TV on the Radio, M83 and Yeah Yeah Yeahs (2011 - 2014 era) were my favorite shows of all time, clustered. Good times.
EDIT: And LCD Soundsystem, that is pure fun.
Cage is such an amazing band live, the show I went to had a truly memorable energy. Absolutely wonderful.
