Radiohead have not played the festival, and the last Japanese festival they played was Summer Sonic, in August 2003. Yorke's band, with Flea on bass, Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker on drums and Mauro Refosco on percussion, had not played Japan before; its April tour of the US ended at Coachella.
They opened with all nine songs of The Eraser in album order, from “The Eraser” to “Cymbal Rush”. Then Yorke played alone, Radiohead's “I Might Be Wrong” and “Videotape” with a new song between them. It was “Give Up the Ghost”, still unreleased, which Yorke first played at his Green Party benefit at the Cambridge Corn Exchange in February. The band came back for the Radiohead B-side “Paperbag Writer”, a new song and two more of Yorke's.
