Despite hovering rain clouds that eventually yielded rain Thursday night, thousands of fans packed the Santa Barbara Bowl, enthralled to see Radiohead perform a sold-out show.

The band, based in the United Kingdom, will play again Saturday at another sold-out performance — the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival in Indio.

On Thursday, lead singer Thom Yorke delighted fans as he took the stage, flanked in an impressive array of lights.

The band Other Lives opened the show, as dozens of fans hovered outside, trying to buy tickets to the performance.
