IT is almost 20 years since Radiohead famously performed in Victoria Park.
The band surprised music fans across the country by shunning an arena tour in favour of a series of big top shows in 2000.
That included three gigs in Latchford on October 1, 2 and 3 – just as they were releasing their fourth album, Kid A.
The circus-style marquee saw 10,000 people at the park each night and was the brainchild of former Woolston High student Simon Moran, the founder of SJM Concerts.
Victoria Park was one of just five UK venues the five-piece played that year as part of an international tour which took in major European cities including Paris, Copenhagen, Brussels and Holland.
And back then tickets were just £25 – a fraction of what Radiohead tickets cost today.
