Radiohead’s headline set at Coachella was met with technical difficulties last night (April 14th, though it actually took place this morning UK time – Ed).
The band were barely into their set before being plagued by feedback and cut outs. ‘Full Stop’ and ’15 Step’ were amongst the songs effected, as the band – who initially didn’t realise the problem – ended up leaving the stage for a short time. Thom Yorke put the problems down to “fuckin’ aliens again.”
Returning, there were further issues during ‘Let Down’, after which the band departed for a second time. Returning, Yorke joked: “Can you actually hear me now? I’d love to tell you a joke, lighten the mood or something like that, but this is Radiohead, so fuck it.”
