The Oxford band gave permission for 14 of their songs to be used in the soundtrack to The Island President.

It follows the Republic of Maldives and "the struggle of President Nasheed to get the voice of a small nation heard in the climate change debate," Thom Yorke explains on the band's official website.

The singer goes on to explain that climate change is threatening the future of the country, "unless something is done to stop rising sea levels they will lose everything."

The Island President won the Best Documentary award at the Toronto film festival and is being shown at the Sundance film festival in the States this week.

This year's Coachella hosts big names, and some massive reunions in the form of At The Drive-In and Refused.

The Californian mega-festival Coachella has announced their line-up, looking suspiciously like the leaked poster that was unveiled before Christmas.

Day One will be headlined by The Black Keys, with Swedish House Mafia, Pulp, Arctic Monkeys, Mazzy Star, Afrojack, Explosions In The Sky and more.

The big news for the first day is that iconic and massively influential Swedish hardcore innovators Refused will reform for the show.

Day Two features Radiohead, Bon Iver, The Shins, David Guetta, Noel Gallaghers' High Flying Birds, Kaskade, Miike Snow and more.

And the final day features Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg, Justice, Florence And The Machine, AVICII, La Roux, Beirut and the reunion show for equally influential post-hardcore act At The Drive-In.

The festival runs over two weekend this year, April 13-15 and April 20-22.
