Radiohead headlined the Saturday of Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, on 6 August, eight years after they topped the bill at the festival's first edition, a night the PA failed on them twice. By the end of “Karma Police”, the final song, Thom Yorke was only strumming an acoustic guitar while the polo field sang the refrain.

They walked on to the Lands End stage at 7.55pm over a recording of Nina Simone talking about what freedom meant to her, with Clive Deamer of Portishead on the second drum kit.

Andrew Veeder of buzzbands.la reports sound trouble in parts of the field, and the back of a big crowd could not hear everything. The festival streamed the set, which ran about two hours.

Yorke barely spoke. Tyler Adams of The Daily Californian gives his words to the crowd as “Uhm. Yeah.3“ and then, with a smile, “Yeah. Yeah.3“
