8 July, 2016: Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool tour arrives in Lisbon for a truly breathtaking headline performance at Nos Alive 2016. See our photos from the show here and check out the setlist below.
The cinematic swoon of 'Burn The Witch' slowly rises to swell the spirits of the vast crowd gathered on the main stage, before 'Daydreaming' raises the heart to the back of your throat as a mesmeric silence fills the air as we're all held in a stunned silence. From there on, their set makes for an unreal Odyssey of the vast sonic terrain these innovators have covered. The dance eruption of 'Idiotque', the disbelief and awe of them playing 'Creep' and the united bliss of the vocal refrain of 'Karma Police' bellowing out well into the night are all memories that shall endure.
Two decades into their career, and Radiohead remain at the peak of their powers. That was a performance for the ages from the most essential band of our time.
