The Smile, the other band of Thom Yorke (Radiohead), to perform in Gironde in August 2024
A small event is set to take place at the end of the summer in Gironde: The Smile, the band formed by Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead, along with Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner, will be performing in Bordeaux at the Krakatoa de Mérignac. The concert will take place on August 26, the day after the British band’s performance at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
The Smile, who released their first album in 2022, have also announced the release of their second volume, titled « Wall of Eye, » scheduled to come out on January 26. Tickets for the concert in Mérignac, priced at 61 euros each, will go on sale starting this Friday, January 12, at 10am.
This concert is bound to attract fans and music enthusiasts eager to see Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood perform outside of Radiohead. The Smile’s unique sound, combining experimental and electronic elements with Yorke’s distinctive vocals, promises to deliver an unforgettable show.
After a year and a half of concert cancellations and postponements due to the pandemic, this announcement brings a glimmer of hope and excitement to music lovers in the Gironde region. The Krakatoa de Mérignac, known for its vibrant and intimate atmosphere, will provide the perfect setting for The Smile’s performance.
It is expected that this concert will sell out quickly, as the popularity of Thom Yorke and Radiohead extends beyond their dedicated fan base. Therefore, fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early to avoid disappointment.
The Smile’s upcoming concert in Mérignac marks a significant moment for music lovers in Gironde and the surrounding areas. It is a rare opportunity to witness the talent and creativity of Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood in a more intimate setting, away from the grand stages of major festivals.
As the anticipation builds up, music enthusiasts are eagerly counting down the days until August 26, when The Smile will take the stage at the Krakatoa de Mérignac. It is sure to be a night to remember for all those fortunate enough to secure their spot in the audience.
The Smile’s concert in Bordeaux is a testament to the city’s thriving music scene and its ability to attract internationally renowned artists. Its reputation as a cultural hub continues to grow, and events like this only serve to solidify its status. Music lovers in Gironde, and beyond, can look forward to experiencing the magic of The Smile in August 2024.
