Radiohead Fan Experience — Brooklyn Pop-Up

Radiohead’s “Motion Picture House featuring KID A MNESIA” is running in Brooklyn through June 28, according to the project’s official site. The installation is staged at the Agger Fish Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and is built around “Kid A” and “Amnesiac,” the band’s 2000 and 2001 albums. Time Out New York included the event in its May 18-24 roundup of things to do in the city this week. The project combines a film, gallery spaces and merchandise tied to the albums’ visual world. ### Where exactly is the Radiohead experience in Brooklyn? The Brooklyn stop is at the Agger Fish Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the official site says. Time Out reported on May 15 that the installation had opened there and described it as a limited-run engagement on the industrial waterfront. Brooklyn is the first listed city on the project’s multi-stop schedule after its Coachella debut. The official site lists later dates for Chicago from July 30 to Aug. 23, Mexico City from Oct. 27 to Nov. 15, and San Francisco from Jan. 14 to Feb. 7, 2027. ### What do visitors actually get inside? The official KID A MNESIA site says each visit includes a 75-minute movie and access to surrounding gallery spaces. The movie blends the architecture of the venue with imagery built from artwork created by Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood during the “Kid A” and “Amnesiac” recording sessions. Time Out reported that the Brooklyn version includes large-scale visuals, gallery installations and a custom six-point surround-sound system. The official site says the soundtrack uses a new mix drawn from the “Kid A MNESIA” songs in spatial audio, and that the music comes from the “Kid A” and “Amnesiac” multitracks. ### How does timed entry work? Each booking is sold in a two-hour slot, the official site says. Screening times are shown during checkout, and the visit is designed to leave additional time before or after the film for gallery viewing. Time Out reported that tickets in Brooklyn are being sold in timed two-hour slots from Thursday through Sunday. Because the official site says tickets are limited per screening and must be purchased in advance, availability can change by date and hour. ### Is this the same thing as the old virtual KID A MNESIA project? The 2021 virtual exhibition was released through Epic Games, according to Time Out’s May 15 report. That version translated the artwork and atmosphere around the albums into an interactive digital environment during the pandemic. The current installation is a physical version of that world. The official site describes “Motion Picture House” as a large-scale audiovisual installation and art gallery built to showcase “KID A MNESIA,” and says the surrounding galleries premiere artwork by Yorke and Donwood in a purpose-built setting. ### How much does it cost, and are there any discounts? Brooklyn tickets are listed at $72.43 before local tax on the official site. The site also says all tickets must be bought ahead of time. Time Out reported that students with a valid .edu email address can get 30% off tickets, and said the event is using Fair AXS ticketing to limit bots and scalpers. The official site says the event is all-ages and does not offer reserved seating, with guests able to stand or sit on a cushioned floor on a first-come, first-served basis. ### What should someone check before going? The official site says Radiohead will not be performing. The event is presented as an installation, film and gallery visit rather than a live concert. Brooklyn dates continue through June 28, and the official ticketing page lists screening times within each two-hour booking window. Time Out’s weekly roundup for May 18-24 flagged the installation as one of the city’s current things to do, but the practical next step is to check the official KID A MNESIA schedule for the specific day and session still available.
