Ahh Radiohead seen them three times in the past but would adore to see them again, last time was 2009 I think at Reading.

Strangely the best time I've seen them was at V Festival back in 2007 I think it was, like a proper casual fan greatest hits sets with all the big songs played just at the right moment.

I'm quite keen to hear this new album and possibly see them at my first festival away from English shores, I'm looking at you Primavera or Portugal.

Ahhhh. The Radiohead greatest hits set at V.

That was fucking glorious.

And I saw it with the Wofflings. Fantastic day.

He's got a blue tick on Twitter. You're not allowed to lie if you've got a blue tick

Says he splits his time between London / Sheffield. Sheffield is a small city - I shall hunt Kidnap Kid down and make sure he isn't lying to us.

Anyone heard of a music producer called kidnap kid 

 

	Kidnap Kid (@kidnapkid)
21/01/2016, 19:16 Radiohead at Glastonbury 2016.  You heard it here first.

 

He's my old flatmate's best friend, got guestlist to a whp he was playing due to it. I'm not in contact with him (I've never actually met the guy) or ex flatmate though .

 

He's from Sheffield like, not sure if he still lives there.

 

Edit: found his facebook profile. I feel like too much of a creep to message him and ask about Radiohead, somebody else want to?

I'm not sure a random small producer saying something like that after the European festival announcements is worth following up, it'll just be guessing I think.

I AM GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK. Too much Radiohead. Can't cope.

Please do. You could even make a Radiohead - Creep reference to break the ice? You will be taking one for them team, Sir!

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

He's a pretty successful producer/DJ to be fair to him, played at Glastonbury the last few years as part of various Black Butter Records takeovers too - although no idea how he would have a line to the festival to get the info

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

It would be funny after all this if Radiohead simply ignore the UK festival scene altogether as they did in 2012 & do their own shows. 

 

My money however is on them doing Bestival & some arena dates later in the year. 

[HattersBoy]

I can confirm that Radiohead are definitely NOT doing IOW, direct tweet from Mr Giddings himself.

[splinterbungee]

I thought headline sized acts tend to announce their own shows first, and then the festivals once they've shifted a load of their own tickets.  Seems they've done it a strange way round, or does that not happen as often as I imagine it does. 

Either way I have a renewed hope they'll be there, but my optimism is at around 25%

Given that their own shows probably aren't going to be in the summertime, festival shows won't effect ticket sales as much, not that that would be a problem with Radiohead, so there's no need to announce them early

Apparently they're touring America in July so that means a no for Latitude or T in the park. They could do Bestival but i doubt it. They could also do IoW but isn't that the same weekend as Primavera this year? Plus i just don't think they'll be doing R&L, they did it quite recently (for their standards) back in 09. So which big festivals does that leave?

John Giddings has said they're not at IOW. Assuming the thing about them being in America in July is true, that only leaves Glasto, Bestival and BST. I don't see them at BST for some reason.

There's nothing to say they couldn't be at 2 of these festivals.

The Who did BST and Glasto last year, the chemical brothers did bestival and Glasto last year.

[dentalplan]

I read that the US dates are meant to start at Panorama in NYC the week after Latitude so I think they're still possible for there but I think it'll be Bestival. Certainly don't think they'd do BST.

[brettredmayne]

Are radiohead too big for bestival?

[Acid_Haze]

Tbh i can safely say that if Radiohead don't headline glastonbury, they'll still be there in one way or another because they seem to be drawn to the place
