Summary

  • Radiohead is launching an audiovisual art installation titled Motion Picture House: KID A MNESIA
  • The immersive experience will debut in a massive purpose-built subterranean bunker at Coachella 2026
  • Following the festival premiere the exhibition will travel to Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, and San Francisco

Radiohead has announced that Motion Picture House: KID A MNESIA, a special audiovisual experience, will be unveiled at Coachella 2026. Originally planned as a physical exhibit, then adapted for digital release in 2021, the project will now allow fans to step into a fully immersive world inspired by the band’s acclaimed Kid A and Amnesiac albums.

Coachella has built a massive, 17,000-square-foot underground space with incredibly high, 38-foot ceilings to showcase a special exhibit. The exhibit features a 75-minute film directed by Sean Evans, made using thousands of artworks – sketches, collages, and paintings – created by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and his frequent artistic partner, Stanley Donwood, between 1999 and 2000.

Yorke calls this experience a story about a creature stuck inside an abandoned museum filled with lost and forgotten things. It’s shown with striking visuals and a special six-speaker sound system playing newly updated audio from the original album’s recordings. After debuting in the desert, the exhibition will travel to select cities in North America. Each showing will last two hours, including a 75-minute film and time to explore galleries featuring artwork from that period.

The ‘Motion Picture House: KID A MNESIA’ experience will premiere at the Coachella music festival over both weekends. Afterwards, it will tour from May 2026 to February 2027. Tickets will be available to the general public starting April 24th. Fans can register in advance until April 12th for early access.
