Radiohead will tour this summer in support of their as-yet-unreleased ninth studio album.

This morning the band was announced as a headliner for OpenAir St. Gallen, a Swiss music festival scheduled for June 30th – July 3rd. And that’s just the beginning.

A source for familiar with Radiohead’s plans says the band plans to headline several music festivals both in America and abroad this summer. A North American jaunt is expected to take place in July.

Update – Thursday, January 21st at 6:30 a.m. CT: Radiohead have confirmed two more festival appearances. They’ll headline Barcelona’s Primavera Sound Music Festival and NOS Alive Festival in Lisbon, Portugal.

Radiohead’s return to the stage will coincide with the release of their ninth studio album, which could surface any day now. Back in October, the band’s members established a new company called Dawn Chorus LLP; they took similar actions months before releasing their prior two studio albums.

Radiohead last performed live in November 2012 supporting their 2011 LP, The King of Limbs.





Make or break for me with these guys. Began listing post OK-pre Kid A, and King of Limbs was really a bore and seemed like a half-assed effort. We'll see.



Hope Thom cut his hair.

I can only take so much of loops and electronica (they haven't kept it a secret that this is their passion right now....at least Thom), especially from my favorite "rock" band. I'm all for bands evolving and that's their business, but I don't have to go along.

Saw them at the UNO Lakefront Arena for the HTTT tour back in 2003, and it was the shortest thing ever. 23 songs but it flew by.

side 1 took time but i've gotten there with it, still not a go-to set but i don't skip it. side 2 is brilliant and probably one of my favorite 4-track album runs in the catalogue.

i am for whatever keeps them interested and making music as a group. for all of the hit/miss stuff that gets injected there will still be guitars to play and songs to sing and the vast majority of it will sound like radiohead.

I think I got to the point where I asked myself "am I trying to force myself to like it just because it's RH?". There's some tracks I really like, Separator, Bloom, Give Up the Ghost, Daily Mail, but it's probably my least listened to album.

Given those dates, I'd guess they're headline Lollapalooza and maybe Voodoo.

It doesn't necessarily have to be guitars all the time. Kid A and Amnesiac are brilliant albums. It just seems like it's Thom amusing himself and the rest of the band is only going to go along for so long, regardless of what they publicly say. Not true at all, I'm sure, but that feeling plus getting tired of Yorke's obnoxious outspoken political diatribes, he's wearing thin on me.

i've been there with other bands and them especially, and it is very frustrating when something doesn't click at all at 1st or 100th listen.

it took me 10 years to come around on kid a and amnesiac

The backlash on Kid A was unreal, and since I was kind of new to them, I wasn't too bothered by the new direction. Plus, seeing those tracks played live was amazing.


The NOLA show, first song is Gloaming, and I'm sitting there going "you're opening with this", but it's Radiohead, they can do what they want. Drums kick in on the "chorus", Thom starts spinning around in that leather jacket of his, crowd goes nuts................ok, I get it now

I'd be down with this.

Also saw them at the UNO show in 03. Trent Reznor was there, watching from the back of the floor

see now i don't listen to the things that musicians say, we are all goofballs with opinions and his political leanings as spoken in interview don't matter to me at all. i find that the more i know about musicians apart from their product the more i am inclined to move on from them regardless of how good their music is.

i never force deciphering strict interpretations of song lyrics and the introduction of political themes in the music is subtle, smart, and typically palatable to me. in a way similar to the way that i feel about roger and animals.
