Radiohead's 'Motion Picture House' Art Installation Debuts at Coachella 2026, Touring Major Cities
April 8, 2026
Slant Magazine is promoting its coverage of the project and inviting readers to support the publication.
The project’s official website is KIDA-MNESIA.com, and Radiohead will not perform during Motion Picture House.
The exhibit underscores Radiohead’s ongoing experimentation with new formats to present music and art to fans, continuing their multimedia legacy.
The installation is a large-format piece comprising sketches, paintings, collages, audio, recordings, and handwritten notes that create a cohesive archival experience.
This marks Radiohead’s first major public event since their 2025 European tour and their first live performances in seven years, with the band not performing in the United States since 2018 and a potential U.S. visit anticipated in 2027.
Pitchfork has previously covered the project, with links to related reviews and interviews for additional context.
The exhibit features Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood’s artwork from Kid A and Amnesiac, along with related pieces and a narrative about a Monster trapped in a derelict museum.
Tickets are sold in two-hour slots, with 75 minutes devoted to an audiovisual experience and gallery time, using Fair AXS to curb bots and a pre-registration on kida-mnesia.com for presale access.
Key figures include Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood, who play central roles in the project and its accompanying artwork.
Radiohead is debuting a physical installation called Motion Picture House, drawn from the Kid A Mnesia era, at Coachella 2026 before touring to Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, and San Francisco.
Yorke is reportedly working on a solo album, though there has been no formal announcement.
Radiohead will not perform live at Coachella, but the project represents a narrative-driven, multimedia presentation described by Yorke as a relic of a time when technology could have saved us.
