Radiohead’s presence at Coachella this weekend isn’t a performance. It’s something more unusual. The band has announced Motion Picture House, a 75-minute audiovisual installation built around ‘Kid A Mnesia,’ their 2021 combined reissue of ‘Kid A’ and ‘Amnesiac.’ The project debuts inside a 17,000 square-foot underground bunker at Coachella before moving to a North American run through Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City and San Francisco. You’ve got to sign up to enter.
The installation features artwork created by Thom Yorke and longtime visual collaborator Stanley Donwood during the original ‘Kid A’ and ‘Amnesiac’ recording sessions, alongside a new spatial audio mix drawn from the multitracks, rendered in 6-point surround sound. The project first launched in 2021 as a virtual-only exhibit, directed by Sean Evans, after COVID restrictions shut down the original physical concept. This is the version it was always meant to be. Yorke describes it as “a Monster is trapped in a derelict museum of the lost and forgotten.” Presale registration is open now through April 12 via Fair AXS, with public on-sale beginning April 24.
