Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood played a surprise set at Glastonbury this evening (June 25).
The pair performed on the festival’s Park Stage after being introduced by Michael Eavis.
“Welcome to the biggest surprise of the weekend,†the festival organiser told the crowd. “There’s two superstars I’ll not name them but they’re right here.â€
Seizing the moment, Yorke told the swelling crowd “Hi, my name is Thomas Yorke,†as he kicked things off, playing ‘The Eraser’ solo on the piano.
“Been in the studio all week with my first band,†he then told the crowd before building a loop around a funky bass riff for ‘Harrowdown Hill’.
He followed that with ‘Black Swan’ though had to restart the song once jokingly cursing “fucking amateurs!†at his slip.
Greenwood then joined his bandmate onstage, playing keys on ‘Cymbal Rush’.
The pair then both played guitars on ‘In Rainbows’ track ‘Weird Fishes/Arpeggi’.
‘Pyramid Song’ followed, with Greenwood taking a violin bow to his guitar while Yorke returned to the piano.
‘Idioteque’ saw the duo drop beats – mixed with a sample of an HGV’s reversing alarm – which got the now giant crowd dancing, before they played an acoustic version of ‘Karma Police’ triggering a mass singalong.
With the crowd singing the song’s “I lost myself†lyrics after the track had finished, Yorke then picked up his guitar and joined in with his audience.
He then launched into the band ‘Street Spirit (Fade Out)’. “Have a brilliant festival every one,†Yorke told the crowd as he left the stage, “see you guys later.â€

Muse were joined onstage by U2 guitarist The Edge as they headlined Glastonbury tonight (June 26).
The space-rock trio played the closing Pyramid Stage for the second time in six years, bringing the second day to an epic finish.
The band brought their special brand of bombast despite a relatively-stripped down show from what they are used to, though the biggest surprise was reserved for the encore.
The band left the stage for a lengthy breather after finishing the initial set with ‘Stockholm Syndrome’. When they returned, they were joined by The Edge, who added his trademark guitar to a version of U2’s ‘Where The Streets Have No Name’.
“This is our friend The Edge,” Muse frontman Matt Bellamy said simply at the end of the mass sing-a-long.
U2 had been due to headline Glastonbury last night, but were forced to pull out after Bono seriously injured his back and were replaced by Gorillaz.
The band appeared relaxed onstage throughout the gig with Bellamy, dressed in white trousers and a red T-shirt, telling the audience; “I can’t believe it’s not fucking raining. I’ve been waiting 15 years for it to be sunny at Glastonbury. Shout out to Michael Eavis! And his daughter [Emily]!”
Muse’s return to Glastonbury was heavy on material from current album ‘The Resistance’, but they threw in curveballs like ‘Nishe’, the B-side to 2000 single ‘Unintended’, and their traditional cover of ‘Feeling Good’, the song made famous by Nina Simone.
Muse played:
‘Uprising’
‘Supermassive Black Hole’
‘New Born’
‘Map Of The Problematique’
‘Guiding Light’
‘Citizen Erased’
‘Nishe’
‘United States Of Eurasia’
‘Feeling Good’
‘Undisclosed Desires’
‘Resistance’
‘Hysteria’
‘Time Is Running Out’
‘Starlight’
‘Stockholm Syndrome’
‘Where The Streets Have No Name’
‘Plug In Baby’
‘Knights Of Cydonia’

gli XX viaggiano sempre meglio…
The XX duetted with Florence And The Machine’s Florence Welch during their second Glastonbury show of the weekend tonight (June 26).
Playing to a heaving crowd at the John Peel Stage, the band invited Welch to sing on their remixed version of ‘You’ve Got The Love’.
Afterwards they admitted being blown away by their reception at Worthy Farm, particularly as it is their first time at the festival.
It was also the second time an XX song has been played at the festival today, as Shakira covered the band’s ‘Islands’ earlier on during her Pyramid Stage set.
The XX also covered Bronski Beat’s ‘Smalltown Boy’ during the gig. The XX had previously headlined The Park stage last night.

infine gli amici national, per i quali come sa il generale sto preparando un blitz…
The National staged a ‘reverse stage invasion’ during their Glastonbury set this evening (June 26).
Playing the Other Stage, frontman Matt Berninger turned the tables and dived into the crowd himself during ‘Squalor Victoria’.
Continuing to sing, the frontman nearly made it to the mixing desk as he was slapped on the back by fans and even squirted with a water pistol.
Following the audience’s acclaim Berninger then joked about the band’s recent success, scoring a UK top Five with new album ‘High Violet’ after 10 years of hard graft and touring.
“This what it looked like in our heads 10 years ago. In our brains,” Berninger told the crowd. “It was a little darker and there were more girls in the front, but this is it.”
The frontman also found time to joke about the band’s gloomy reputation, and how they may have suited an evening slot.
“Ah look at that sunset, beautiful,” he joked, pointing at the sun which was still blazing high in the sky. He added: “Make a wish.”
Towards the end of the set Berninger was back in the crowd again, this time during ‘Mr November’, before the band ended the set with ‘Terrible Love’.
The National played:
‘Mistaken For Strangers’
‘Anyone’s Ghost’
‘Bloodbuzz Ohio’
‘Slow Show’
‘Squalor Victoria’
‘I’m Afraid Of Everyone’
‘Conversation 16’
‘Abel’
‘Apartment Story’
‘England’
‘Fake Empire’
‘Mr November’
‘Terrible Love’
