Radiohead touring in 2016

[Tuna]

Given the number of 'you knows', detective Tuna reckons that's a fake exchange, @admscott

Not much of a detective if you can't even google a piece of it to find the source.

Yeah, that's just, you know, how Thom, you know, talks, you know?

Oh my. Where is that exchange from?

Course it's real, I only pedal 100% genuine RH quotes and rumours,unless it's on glastochat or about me seeing Thom Yorke in a shop. It's from here if you haven't already found it

Rumours of the new tour being in 2 'acts'.. Possibly new album in full then oldies?

Intriguing.

Rumours from where?

[brettredmayne]

Think it's pretty obvious this isn't a full scale tour as yet.

We will get some bigger UK dates next year. 

[dentalplan]

I would be surprised if anyone had thought otherwise.

[Al2006]

Either that or there is something 'special' about this album.. as a 'work of art' (as Stanley said).. Which lends itself best to being played in full

Or a lot of strings being even more of a major feature / prevalent than previous releases which, when played live, would be easier logistically to knock out in one 'act' rather than sporadically placed throughout a set.

But my record predicting stuff is appalling.

Shit. People keep telling me the internet is gonna be big.

I like these rumours, I could easily settle for Radiohead not being at glastonbury, and not having got tickets for London... IF they then turn around and do a big tour in autumn/winter/next year and headline 2017. I can live with that idea.

With Adele having already been announced as the headliner it would be bizarre for them to announce that. Also Glastonbury having co-headliners doesn't really make sense as at R+L one of them closes the stage at Reading and the other at Leeds. Someone has to go on last.

Biffy are supposedly closing at both sites despite coheadlining

Co-heading is essentially the length of time they will have, the rest is a bit irrelevant. Unless FOB have less time then playing end at both or not it's still in that term.

That format really worked for Suede on the recent tour. First part was the new album in full, in chronological order then part two was hits and a couple fan favourite rarities 

[Mardy]

New album in full then a break, then hits/fan favourites etc means people have an extra pint in the boozer before going into the venue, I reckon.

And there was us thinking you were 'on the turn'!

Anyhoo, Leonard Cohen pulled this stunt at the O2 without putting anything on the ticket* other than 'Doors: 7.30pm'.

Loads of punters rocked up just before 9pm and missed an hour. 

 

*I realise LC didn't print the tickets himself.

two sets. full orchestras. loving these rumours. hope at least some of them come to fruition, although even if they didn't and it was your standard guitars, bass and drum setup i doubt i'd be complaining 

[jonodillieono]

I'd much prefer them without the orchestras to be honest.

if it's one half of the set full orchestra/new album and the other half your standard Radiohead set then i could definitely get behind that

[dentalplan]

Hope they give this an outing at Glasto.

Not sure where these rumours of the tour being in 2 acts are coming from. There's nothing about it on atease....

think it came from Primavera saying that Radiohead will showcase their new album at the festival?

[arcade fireman]

Yeah I think that was a misinterpretation.

I think it's just a guess giving the layout of this tour. Makes sense that we will get a larger scale next year.
