At Glastonbury, UK band asks Theresa to shut door on way out

Glastonbury, England: Britain’s Radiohead returned to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage on Friday, 20years after a legendary performance at the festival, with a set that mocked Prime Minister Theresa May’s election campaign and pulled songs from nearly all of their albums.

The band from Oxfordshire, England, first headlined in 1997,one of the wettest years in the festival’s history, when they lifted a sodden crowd with music from their album OK Computer.

Featuring songs about alienation, capitalism and modern technology, the band’s third album sounds oddly prescient in apolitically divided and anxious Britain in 2017.

Singer Thom Yorke changed the lyric at the end of the song Myxomatosis to ‘strong and stable’, apparently mocking a slogan that May repeated many times in her campaign. ‘See you later Theresa; Shut the door on the way out,’ Yorke said.

Ms May has yet to form a stable government in Britain, more than two weeks after an inconclusive national election. The two-hour show went down well with fans, but left some newcomers under whelmed, evidenced by people heading off to other stages.
