Radiohead Stun Crowds At Lollapalooza Festival

Radiohead stunned crowds as they headlined the Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago last night (August 1st).

The band, who are headlining the event alongside Rage Against The Machine and Kanye West, played a polished 24-song, two hour set.

As with most of their live shows in 2008, the band’s set comprised mostly of songs from their latest album ‘In Rainbows’, which was released last October.

Although more established classics, such as ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ and ‘Paranoid Android’, were also aired to the 75,000 strong crowd.

As previously reported on Gigwise, democratic hopeful Barack Obama is widely expected to make a surprise appearance at this weekend’s festival.

It has been suggested that Mr Obama, who lives in Chicago, may introduce West onto stage on Sunday evening following the rapper’s high profile support of his campaign to become America’s first black president.
