An Evening of Radiohead at Wakefield Cathedral

"For a minute there - I lost myself."

Let Me In are back, returning on a UK Cathedral (and Minster..!) tour after a sell-out, acclaimed tour in 2024.

Lose yourself in this sonically spectacular celebration of Radiohead's vast and ever-expanding universe of music - including hits and hidden gems from their 30 years in the spotlight from albums such as OK Computer, In Rainbows and The Bends.

A full live band, with vocalists, accompanied by the nationally renowned Mike Nowland String Quartet, will transport you on an epic journey through the bestselling band's back catalogue within the stunning surroundings of Wakefield Cathedral, for a special show of live music you will never forget.
The setlist will collate a detailed selection of hits and lesser known gems from all of Radiohead's nine albums to date, and will have something for everyone as we venture from 90s maudlin rockers to bombastic sonic landscapes in what is guaranteed to be a sensory experience like no other.

Your band for the evening will be fronted by Christopher Buckle, and will include local musicians and Radiohead lovers - Alfie Woods, Bruce Higgs, Daniel Anketell, Josh Semans, Lydia Karaviotis and Musical Director - Ewan Steady. The band will be accompanied by very special guests and nationally renowned string players - Mike Nowland, Mathias Svensson, Caroline Boddimead and Hannah Paterson.

NOTE - We believe that the arts have both the potential and responsibility to support the strengthening of communities and in actively fighting against injustices that provide a select few in society opportunities that should be accessible to everyone. We are constantly pushing ourselves to find new ways to collaborate with individuals and communities across the Midlands in seeing how we can develop projects that aren’t just artistically enjoyable but that enable space for reflection on how to make our communities more open, safe and without prejudice. Because of this, we do not want to put any financial barriers between our work and our audiences - if you find this is the case, please email us on Y2hyaXMgfCBsZXRtZWlucHJlc2VudHMgISBjbyAhIHVr and we can discuss alternative ticketing arrangements to enable you to come to the event if you wish to.

FAQs

When do doors open?

Doors will open 45 minutes before the music begins, meaning they will open at 6.45pm. This will give you ample time to come into the space, find your seat and relax before the music begins at 7.30pm.

What are the stage times?

There is no support act, so the music will begin at 7.30pm sharp. There will be two sets with a 20 minute interval, with the event finishing around 10.20pm.

What age is the performance suitable for?

This performance is suitable for all ages, however, there are some intense lighting and sound moments throughout the evening, and we would recommend parental discretion. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

What are the seating arrangements?

What is the view like in the "restricted view" section?

The restricted views seats are at the sides of the main nave, and can range from a great view to being behind a pillar. These are unreserved, so you can end up getting a great spot if you arrive early, however, the price reflects the inconsistency of these views.
