Returning to Brazil for the first time in nine years, Radiohead delivered a memorable performance at São Paulo's Allianz Parque on April 22, 2018. This concert was a key stop on their South American tour and part of the traveling Soundhearts Festival, which the band also curated. The event saw them sharing the bill with experimental artist Flying Lotus and Junun, a project featuring Radiohead's own Jonny Greenwood.
The show captured the band touring in support of their acclaimed 2016 album, "A Moon Shaped Pool." They opened the set with atmospheric tracks from that record, including "Daydreaming" and "Ful Stop," immediately immersing the audience in their distinct sonic world. Known for their mesmerizing and visually abstract stage productions, the performance was a spectacle of light and sound, with a large oval screen creating dynamic, celestial backdrops.
Throughout the night, Thom Yorke and the band navigated their extensive discography, blending newer material with beloved classics from albums like "OK Computer" and "In Rainbows." Yorke's captivating stage presence was on full display, from his famously eccentric dance moves to his focused intensity at the piano. The performance was a powerful reminder of Radiohead's enduring status as one of the most compelling and innovative live acts in the world, creating an immersive experience for the passionate Brazilian audience.
