Radiohead

In 2009, when Radiohead performed "Creep" at the Reading Festival, they were riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album "In Rainbows," which had been released just under two years earlier. This innovative album not only showcased their sonic evolution but also revolutionized music distribution with a pay-what-you-want model. During this live set, fans experienced the band’s raw energy and emotional depth, as "Creep"—their breakout hit from 1992—still resonated deeply with audiences. Interestingly, by this stage, Radiohead had already solidified their reputation as pioneers in alternative rock, continually pushing artistic boundaries. The Reading Festival itself is rich in history, making this performance a notable highlight in both the festival's legacy and Radiohead's career.
