​​Radiohead gave fans a treat to kick off their tour last night, May 23, during the sold-out audience at the La Zenith in Paris. According to Rolling Stone, the band hadn’t performed their classic global smash ‘Creep’ since August 30, 2009, when it headlined the U.K.’s Reading Festival. Radiohead released their ninth studio album A Moon Shaped Pool earlier this month.

Singer Thom Yorke told the crowd, “This is for the funny guy shouting for ‘Creep’ at the back, if only to shock you.”

A fan in the audience captured video. Watch below:

Radiohead will be headlining shows in New York City and Los Angeles this summer and also play at this year’s Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Austin City Limits festivals.

Paul Thomas Anderson-directed video teases band’s new LP – out digitally on May 8th

Radiohead have released a haunting new single, “Daydreaming,” from their much anticipated – and as-yet-untitled – ninth studio album, which arrives digitally on May 8th and in all physical formats on June 17th. They also unveiled an elaborate, maze-like video directed by filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.

The clip stars frontman Thom Yorke, who walks through a series of interconnected locations – an apartment, parking garage, hospital, house, laundromat, beach – and eventually climbs a snow-capped hill to an eerie cave. “Daydreaming” is the sonic inverse of the band’s recently released single “Burn the Witch,” using a glacial Jonny Greenwood score and ambient keys to anchor Yorke’s vocals. “Dreamers, they never learn,” he croons. “It’s too late / The damage is done.”
