Radiohead: TRNSMT 2017

(2017)

Overview

Radiohead perform a mind-blowing set at Glasgow’s TRNSMT Festival. “When it comes it’s so, so disappointing.” Well there’s a self-defeating prophecy if ever we heard one. As the sun sinks below the horizon and Radiohead open their first Scottish show in almost a decade with the oxymoronic lament of ‘Let Down’, it’s hard to imagine feeling anything other than full-body euphoria – just ask the girl standing next to us, who bursts into tears as Colin Greenwood’s bassline kicks in. Here, on the first night of Scotland’s newest festival, Radiohead lay down a marker that fellow headliners Kasabian and Biffy Clyro will do well to come anywhere close to: for two and a half magical hours, TRNSMT becomes TRNSCNDNT.
