Radiohead turned their 2017 Coachella headline set into a sonic labyrinth, drawing the Indio crowd deeper into their world with every note. Under a starry April sky, the British band, whose experiments reshaped the musical landscape, wove a tapestry of emotion and introspection built from atmospheric guitar swells and intricate rhythms. Thom Yorke moved across the stage with hypnotic grace, his piercing vocals seeming to drift in from another dimension, and at one point he paused to thank the crowd, sparking a wave of applause that became the set’s warmest moment. Jonny Greenwood layered the melodies with extra depth while abstract visuals played across the screens like reflections of the band’s own thoughts, deepening an already immersive experience. On one of the world’s most influential festival stages, Radiohead delivered a performance that felt like pure enchantment.
