This past month has seen Radiohead hold our hands through self-isolation by providing us with archival concert footage from the Radiohead Public Library. The latest instalment of the series has seen the band upload their 2006 Live at Bonnaroo performance, featuring brand spanking new desk audio.
“Filmed in 2006 in Tennessee it’s easily, comfortably, the best festival experience I’ve ever had in America,” Jonny Greenwood shared. “I hope the heat, dust, and smell of fine Southern whiskey comes over as well as the songs – and I hope that we get back to live music soon”. You can watch the performance below.

In related news, Myrtle Beach melodic hardcore heroes turned new wave giants Hundredth recently unleashed a cover of Radiohead’s Kid A track, ‘Idioteque’.
The band have been recording and releasing covers whilst chipping away at their own new album.
“While we finalize the upcoming album we wanted to share our version of another track/album that has significantly informed the upcoming LP, which is is “Idioteque” from Radiohead’s Kid A,” the band shared in a statement. “The ability to make songs that are experimental yet still catchy and palatable has been a big goal of ours on the upcoming album. I don’t think anyone captures this better than what Radiohead did on Kid A.
“It takes you somewhere else and you can still sing along on the way. We definitely dove deep on this one, finding and chopping the same Paul Lanksy and Arthur Kreiger samples used in the original song. We wanted to stay faithful to the original but slightly reimagine it sonically to bring it more into the world of the upcoming LP.” You can check out their cover below.
