Radiohead Live Performance of Exit Music (for a Film) at Pinkpop Festival 2001

Venue: Pinkpop Festival Location: Landgraaf, NL, Netherlands Date: June 3, 2001

In June 2001, Radiohead took the stage at the Pinkpop Festival, performing 'Exit Music (for a Film),' a haunting track from their acclaimed 1997 album, 'OK Computer.' By this point in their career, Radiohead was already riding a wave of critical success, having released 'Kid A' just months earlier in October 2000, which marked a significant shift to a more experimental sound. This live performance showcased their emotional depth and dynamic stage presence, further solidifying their reputation as one of the most innovative bands of their generation. Interestingly, 'Exit Music (for a Film)' was originally written for Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo + Juliet,' setting the stage for a cinematic feel in their live renditions. Fans often rave about the raw energy and connection the band achieved during this performance, capturing the essence of a truly momentous era in their musical journey.
