Radiohead performs Idioteque at Glastonbury Festival 2003

Venue: Glastonbury Festival Location: Pilton, England, United Kingdom Date: June 29, 2003

During their electrifying performance of "Idioteque" at the Glastonbury Festival in 2003, Radiohead was riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album "Hail to the Thief," which released just a few months prior in June that year. This album marked a significant moment for the band, as it was their first release after a brief hiatus and featured politically charged themes reflecting the post-9/11 world. The live rendition of "Idioteque," with its frenetic beats and haunting melodies, showcased their experimental approach that fans had come to love. By this point in their career, Radiohead had firmly established themselves as pioneers of alternative rock, pushing boundaries further with each album, allowing their live performances to reflect a palpable sense of urgency and creativity that resonated deeply with the audience. Glastonbury 2003 captured not just a moment in time, but a band redefining the landscape of modern music.
