A friend of mine (who we are going to Glastonbury with) was told by a music promoter friend of his that he's had it on "good authority" that Radiohead are subbing Adele.

I have absolutely no idea how reliable any of the sources are here, but I thought I would share.

Really hope that source doesn't trace back to one of Neil's and that it's fresh info! 

Neil sure has been conspicuous by his absence from this thread over the last few days

With the Roundhouse gigs in two weeks, I don't understand why we don't know the support act yet.

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Adele.

 

quid pro quo...

well that's all the convincing i need

but yes, like everybody else, i sure do hope that good authority isn't just Neil's best guess from on here

just a couple more weeks until we find out for sure!

...which would be better than Adele...?

Agreed - and it would also score 10.0 on Pitchfork if released by an obscure Scandinavian

[Acid_Haze]

This would be an example of a set they'd play if it were alphabetical. It'd be really weird. Can't imagine them ending with Weird Fishes.

15 Step

Airbag

Bloom

Bodysnatchers

Burn the Witch

Daydreaming

Deck’s Dark

Everything in its Right Place

Feral

Ful Stop

Identikit

Idioteque

Lotus Flower

The National Anthem

Nude

The Numbers

Paranoid Android

 

The Present Tense

Reckoner

Street Spirit (Fade Out)

 

There There

True Love Waits

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

It's all wrong isn't it?  Even if they just dropped Weird Fishes and stuck in another song, (Myxomatosis between Lotus Flower + National Anthem??).  Nah, they don't strike me and being so married to high concept.  I reckon it just lined up well this time and they only had to fiddle with the names a tiny bit to make it all fit, so went with it.

Just ordered the white vinyl, couldn't resist

I hate all this talk in reviews about this being their last album

Whoever interviews them next needs to ask the question. 

[adjwholovesmusic]

To do this new album justice it would have to be on the Pyramid stage and I think a sub slot perhaps as the sun (Hopefully!!!) is going down would be absolutely amazing. I really can't see them playing in a small tent late at night as it would be absolute chaos and I'm pretty sure the festival wouldn't want to put people at risk. They will do what the Libertines did last year,  a surprise unannounced slot on the Pyramid.  

The album is stunning, truly stunning!!!

I can't see them playing the main stage unless it's a headline slot. I just don't think they play this year. 

[xxialac]

They should cancel Adele, Muse and Coldplay and have Radiohead play 3 different albums each night back to back

is what we'd all be currently thinking if Neil wasn't hearing (from multiple sources?) that they're booked to play this year as well as numerous other factors making it look like it could just happen

What page is this info? I seem to have missed it

Looking at all of this, from the outside, not as a fan, it really seems like the end of an era. Reissue of old albums, that daydreamer video, the old tape around the deluxe vinyl, the fading away of the online presence, the fact that some of this album is made up of songs going back 20 years. It's a tidying up, a clearing out.

Neil (guy who runs this site) has mentioned throughout this thread that a usually reliable source (same guy who has informed him about Radiohead playing/not playing in previous years) has told him that they are booked to play this year, although he's not sure where, and for reasons unknown (but Neil has his reasons) he seems to now think that subbing Adele is looking likely (although he's not 100% at all on that one, but it makes sense as them playing anywhere smaller would be a huge safety hazard as it was when they did a secret set in 2011). it could all prove to be bollocks, but along with Loaded Magazine believing Disclosure are headlining Other and not subbing the Pyramid (leaving a Pyramid sub slot free) it looks like it might just be true

christ when you mention it all like that it certainly does seem a little telling. i really hope that's not what they're hinting at (and they've always gone back to old songs and recorded them for albums years and years later so that one can be scratched off i guess, although there's something different about True Love Waits this time round...) but if they did decide to end after this album they've done a good job of wrapping everything up

That made me need a worried poo.

this rollercoaster ride of 'will they/won't they' has gone on so long now that i've just decided to roll with it. they're playing. it's on. 1 hour 30 sub/co-headline slot. let's go

[jparx]

I doubt RH will ever call it a day. They are good friends and have unbelievable chemistry as musicians. They might take an extended break but they are a band that I believe will hit the studio again once they have the ideas and feel like they have something meaningful to say. 

[dentalplan]

 Radiohead will end when Ed starts his solo career and outgrows Radiohead.

[PastRecedes]

Considering they've made it this far with no major fallouts/changes of members I reckon they're not done yet.

Great positive attitude, FF.

I've blown so much smoke up your arse for your PMA thus that we could use it to train fire fighters.

But, yes: well done and some sort of medal to you, dude.
