The Atoms for Peace bandmates reunited in London for a 20-minute jam that included “Got to Give It Up” By Jazz Monroe May 27, 2026 Save this story Save this story
Longtime collaborators Flea and Thom Yorke reaffirmed their unlikely kinship at London’s Koko last night. The Radiohead frontman, having apparently also reunited with his 1997 barber, came out during his Atoms for Peace bandmate’s headline show to perform a pair of songs: “Traffic Lights”—the Yorke collaboration from Flea’s recent LP Honora —and a cover of Marvin Gaye ’s disco classic “Got to Give It Up.” Yorke tales the microphone in both renditions, but there is a lot of jamming in the middle. Gauge your mileage via the 20-minute fan video below.
Last night’s collab was the latest in a series of post-Atoms for Peace linkups, including a brief reunion of the full band—also including Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker—in 2018. Flea and Yorke later rendezvoused on a song for the Edward Norton-directed movie Motherless Brooklyn .
