Radiohead’s first show in seven years, check out the full setlist and encores
After a seven-year silence, Radiohead have finally returned to the stage, and they did it with the kind of grace and unease only they can pull off.
Kicking off a run of four-night residencies across Europe, the band played Madrid’s Movistar Arena on Monday night (Nov 4), revisiting every corner of their career with a setlist that reminded fans just how much they’ve missed the Oxfordshire five-piece.
The night opened with the shimmering ‘Let Down,’ a track that’s enjoyed a viral renaissance in recent years. From there, the band dipped into Hail to the Thief for a rare ‘Sit Down Stand Up’ (not played since 2004), alongside cuts from Kid A, In Rainbows, and A Moon Shaped Pool.
The encore was a love letter to their legacy, ‘Fake Plastic Trees,’ ‘Paranoid Android,’ and ‘Karma Police’ closing the night on a gut-punch of nostalgia.
Circular stage, circular history, Radiohead are back, and the world feels a little more interesting again.
