Radiohead are cracking open the KID A MNESIA universe again, as something you can physically step inside.

It starts in the desert. On April 10, at Coachella, the band will unveil a new installation buried inside a purpose-built bunker. After its festival debut, the project drifts outward to a short run of cities, Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, San Francisco.

The installation in question is Motion Picture House: KID A MNESIA, a film-installation hybrid built from the bones of Kid A and Amnesiac. The visuals come straight from the uneasy minds of Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood, the same artwork that once defined that era’s warped aesthetic, now blown up, reframed, and given room to breathe (or suffocate, depending on how you take it). The audio leans on the original multitracks, pulled apart and reassembled into something more atmospheric.

If you remember the 2021 digital experiment – part game, part fever dream – this is the next evolution. That earlier iteration let you wander through distorted hallways and impossible rooms, stitched together from album stems and spectral imagery. It felt unfinished in a deliberate way, like a sketch of a nightmare. Turns out, it kind of was. The plan had always been to build it in the real world; timing just got in the way.

Now, they’ve gone all in.

Yorke describes the internal logic of the piece as “a monster trapped in a derelict museum of the lost and forgotten,” which sounds about right if you’ve spent any time with these records. The installation itself is massive, 17,000 square feet of subterranean space with towering ceilings, fitted with a custom six-point surround system that promises to swallow you whole rather than politely entertain.

Access is open to festival-goers at Coachella, but beyond that, it becomes more complicated: a ticketed, time-limited experience. Two-hour slots, most of it devoted to the main installation and film, with just enough time left over to drift through galleries of Yorke and Donwood’s original works.

Fans can pre‑register at kida-mnesia.com through April 12th at 11:59 p.m. PT for an opportunity at pre-sale tickets.

There’s movement on the Radiohead horizon beyond this, too. Ed O'Brien has hinted that the band are quietly mapping out a return to the stage, a long-view plan that would see them touring different continents year by year starting in 2027.

O’Brien has a new solo record incoming, and Yorke, predictably, is already working on something else, something new, reportedly coming out "later in the year."

For a band that’s spent decades dissolving the boundary between sound, image, and environment, Motion Picture House: KID A MNESIA feels like the physical manifestation of a world that was never meant to stay digital in the first place.
