    Radiohead Close V In Emphatic Style

    Radiohead closed the V festival in emphatic style last night rolling a string of classics alongside fresh material.

    In what has already been hailed by some as one of their greatest sets ever, highlights included ‘Paranoid Android’, ‘Street Spirit’, ‘Just’ and ‘Pyramid Song.’

    Surprising most of the contingent present, the band finished with ‘Creep’ for the second night in a row.

    The three new songs that got an airing were ‘Nude’, ‘Videotape’ and ‘All I Need.’

    Thom Yorke and co. stayed in a buoyant mood throughout, apart from a moment the frontman had to deal with a heckler.

    The band had earlier arrived ten minutes late on stage, but went past the 10.50pm curfew to ensure they finished on a high.

    The full setlist was as follows:

    1 Airbag
    2 2+2=5
    3 The National Anthem
    4 My Iron Lung
    5 Morning Bell
    6 Fake Plastic Trees
    7 The Bends
    8 Videotape
    9 Nude
    10 The Gloaming
    11 Paranoid Android
    12 All I Need
    13 Pyramid Song
    14 Lucky
    15 Just
    16 Idioteque
    17 Street Spirit

    18 You And Whose Army?
    19 Karma Police
    20 Everything In Its Right Place
    21 Creep
