Thom Yorke spins Prince and Public Enemy in secret, two-hour Glastonbury DJ set Atoms For Peace Tickets

Yorke and Atoms For Peace bandmate Nigel Godrich will do the same again tonight (June 29)

Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich played a secret DJ set at Glastonbury festival late last night (June 28).

The Atoms For Peace pair had said hinted to Zane Lowe earlier this year that they might play in some capacity, and Godrich tweeted a picture of the festival site on June 27.

The two-hour set kicked off at 1am at 'Heaven', a small area in Shangri-La which has waitresses dressed as angels, ceramic toilets and a no-shoe rule. Ed O'Brien of Radiohead and Carl Barât were also in the area.

Yorke and Godrich played a genre-bending collection of records, mostly in unison but occasionally one would take the reins. Tracks played included 'Sexy MF' by Prince, 'Fuck Tha Police' by NWA, 'Once In A Lifetime' by Talking Heads, '212' by Azealia Banks and Desmond Dekker's '007'. The eclectic mix also featured jungle, rave, dancehall and soul.

Yorke danced energetically throughout the set, wearing a waistcoat and his hair up in a ponytail. Looking relaxed and happy, he doffed his black hat to the applauding crowd.

After the set, Godrich tweeted: "Same time. Same place tomorrow". Yorke has been spotted frequently around the Glastonbury site, and reportedly appeared onstage with Seasick Steve yesterday.

Cool.

What is news about that? He played a record with Prince on it?! No big deal, DJs do that all the time

If he was doing a cover i can understand but just playing a song?!

Aw man, I thought Thom actually played a Prince song, not just DJ'd. I wonder what song would he play if he ever did cover Prince? I'd like to hear that. I think something from 1999 would suit that Atoms For Peace vibe, maybe Something In The Water (Does Not Compute). Whatever song he chose would he rewrite the lyrics ala Prince covering Creep?

considering previous covers he's done, i think it would be something like when you were mine

Missed that one track then! Even if i was trying not to fall asleep while sipping my passion fruit & vodka slushy, was there for an hour or so and the music he played was rather boring - the crazy agro band next door with bondage dancers and grinding violins woke me up though!!

The DJ could have been anyone - can't see the exitment of "a name" playing records by other people. To have a live set pick out a track like that would have been cool though....
