Radiohead has unveiled plans for a groundbreaking audiovisual installation titled 'Motion Picture House: KID A MNESIA,' set to make its world premiere at Coachella 2026 before embarking on a multi-city tour.
The 75-minute large-format experience draws from the creative archives of frontman Thom Yorke and longtime collaborator Stanley Donwood, featuring artwork, sketches, paintings, collages, audio recordings, and handwritten notes produced during the making of the band's seminal albums 'Kid A' (2000) and 'Amnesiac' (2001).
At Coachella, the installation will be housed in a specially constructed 17,000-square-foot underground bunker beneath the Empire Polo Fields, featuring 38-foot-high ceilings. The space will be equipped with a custom-built 6-point surround sound system, for which the music has been specifically remixed.
Thom Yorke described the narrative concept behind the experience:
"It's based around a story where a monster is trapped in a derelict museum of the lost and forgotten."
Following its Coachella debut, 'Motion Picture House: KID A MNESIA' will travel to several North American cities:
- May 6–31: Brooklyn, Agger Fish Building
- July 30–August 23: Chicago, Cinespace Studio
- October 27–November 15: Mexico City, La Maravilla Studios
- January 14–February 7: San Francisco, Palace of Fine Arts
The installation represents a unique fusion of visual art and music from one of rock's most innovative periods, offering fans an immersive journey through the creative process behind two of Radiohead's most celebrated albums.
