Radiohead play Colombia for the first time, in the Bogotá rain

Radiohead played Colombia for the first time on Wednesday night, headlining the first Soundhearts Festival at Parque Simón Bolívar in Bogotá in heavy rain. It was the last of their six South American dates. Noisey Colombia has the report of the night, in Spanish.

Jonny Greenwood was on stage long before his own band, playing bass among the Rajasthan Express in Junun's set for close to an hour. The show was booked for Parque Deportivo 222 until 10 April, when the organisers moved it to Simón Bolívar on the same date, saying weeks of bad weather had hit the original park hardest.

The band greeted the crowd briefly in Spanish, and Thom Yorke opened the night at the piano with “Daydreaming”. He said little from the stage, but he told the crowd they were obviously used to the rain, and said sorry for it. “Creep” closed the first encore, and he smiled all the way through it. The crowd sang “Paranoid Android” and “Karma Police” back to the band at the end, and their parting word was that they would see Colombia again.
