After receiving backlash for going through with their scheduled show at Yarkon Park in Tel Aviv, Israel, Radiohead played their longest set in 11 years.

Activist groups condemned Radiohead for booking Israel in response to the country’s relationship with Palestine. On April 23, Roger Waters, Desmond Tutu, Thurston Moore and over 50 prominent supporters of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement against Israel signed a petition suggesting they cancel the show.

But Radiohead went on to play 27 songs during the set, marking their longest show since 2006.

Before the start of their final song, “Karma Police,” frontman Thom Yorke addressed the backlash they received.

A lot was said about this, but in the end we played some music.

Prior to the show, Yorke spoke about the band’s decision to play.

It’s deeply disrespectful to assume that we’re either being misinformed or that we’re so retarded we can’t make these decisions ourselves. I thought it was patronizing in the extreme. It’s offensive and I just can’t understand why going to play a rock show or going to lecture at a university [is a problem to them].

Director Ken Loach recently criticized the band in a tweet saying, “Radiohead need to decide if they stand with the oppressed or the oppressor,” prompting Yorke’s response.

Playing in a country isn’t the same as endorsing the government. We’ve played in Israel for over 20 years through a succession of governments, some more liberal than others. As we have in America. We don’t endorse Netanyahu any more than Trump, but we still play in America.

Though the backlash remains, Radiohead will finish up their W.A.S.T.E. tour on August 20 in Macerata, Italy.
