Radiohead performs 'The Bends' live at V Festival in Chelmsford

Venue: Hylands Park Location: Chelmsford, England, United Kingdom Date: August 19, 2006

In August 2006, during their performance at V Festival, Radiohead revisited an iconic moment in their career by playing 'The Bends,' a track from their highly acclaimed 1995 album of the same name. By this point, Radiohead had just released their experimental album 'Hail to the Thief' in 2003, pushing the boundaries of rock music and showcasing their evolution. This live performance not only reflects their skillful blend of alternative rock but also highlights how the band’s sound had matured over the years. Interestingly, 'The Bends' was pivotal in establishing their place in the music scene, and hearing it live during this festival brought a wave of nostalgia to long-time fans. As the crowd swayed to the melody, it was clear that despite their ongoing evolution, Radiohead remained deeply connected to their roots.
