Radiohead

In June 1996, Radiohead delivered a memorable performance of "High and Dry" at the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands, just after the release of their breakthrough album "The Bends". This album marked a significant turning point for the band, featuring a more mature sound and deeper lyrical themes compared to their debut. Interestingly, "The Bends" included tracks like "Fake Plastic Trees" and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)", which became staples in their live shows. At this festival, the band's dynamic stage presence showcased their evolution from alternative rock newcomers to one of the most influential bands of the era. This performance was also pivotal as they began to gain substantial international recognition, setting the stage for their subsequent artistic explorations and the innovations that would characterize their later works.
