Radiohead touring in 2016

[Hugh Jass]

The gigs are this week!!!!!

Do we think roundhouse tickets will go back on sale at some stage? I'm trying to set up the page checker but having massive problems with my Paypal at the moment (account got hacked, Paypal are trying to fix it) 

Monday's are never straight forward.

Not sure myself. They've amended the Thursday and Saturday from tickets not available to sold out this morning. My tracker keeps going off every minute bit no good news at present.

Just noticed that it did the same on the Friday to! I have managed to get tickets later from a venue then this. Fingers crossed (and also fingers crossed I sort out my stupid paypal!)

just saw the ME video.

I know I am biased, but seems to me that RH must be there if ME mentioned them. To me he had no reason to mention them. He was directly asked by someone what he did in terms of booking acts and mentioned other bands that are playing so would seem rather daft if RH weren't. Would also make him look rather like a muppet so to speak if he just randomly namedropped them and they were never playing.

The dream is well and truly still ON people!

Hmmmm .....

While I arrive at much the same conclusion as you, there is a reason why he might mention them - as an Oxford band after he mentions "The" Foals are from Oxford.

But, to me, it appears to be more about who's playing this year than the Oxford connection, so who knows.

I see that viewpoint, but he was asked about what he does to book acts not about local acts so to me, it looks as though he may have spilled the beans

Not jumping to conclusions here and I am seeing them on Thursday so I am not as fussed as others but for ME to namedrop them if they are not playing, when he was asked about what he does towards acts that ARE playing, seems a bit....... iffy to me. Either ME misunderstood the question maybe or let slip by mistake that RH were playing. 

 

Either way, dream still on! Lol

I love the fact that Michael Eavis mentions Radiohead in the middle of a list of acts playing the festival this year, and we are still none the wiser.

The great Radiohead mystery rolls on!

[jparx]

It's more his response after he mentions them that is telling. He looks like he's just dropped an absolute bollock, and then shortly after he starts talking about Radiohead again and how they deserve another shot at the festival. Seems to me like he's trying to cover his tracks.

Who the hell knows anymore. We'll know soon enough  It's just amazing how many twists and turns there are to this saga. Someone should make a movie out of it.

Scott has just watched thru most of the vid, and said that Eavis mentions a big secret thing that has a rumour going around for it, which only adds to the intrigue.

If Michael confirmed it 3 weeks ago and we've been here going around in circles...

I'm of the opinion Radiohead are playing but still don't think that video is info either way really. It's so hard to tell what he means because of the way he delivers it.

I'm torn between wanting to stay off this thread for a few days in the build up to Friday to avoid all setlist news and not wanting to miss a moment of the madness that this thread has come to embody.

It seemed a lot like a slip up that he tried to quickly cover up with things like "they're an Oxford band" and "they're due a crack at it"

I'm attempting to avoid all setlist news. I haven't seen the one from the second night of the tour and am hoping to avoid any more prior to Friday.

no, he started talking about Oxford before mentioning Radiohead.

I watched the video, chewed it over and decided that even if Uncle Eavis had outright said 'Radiohead are booked', I'd not be convinced and might well assume he meant for next year.  So it doesn't really matter what he says.

different ticket provider but.. some tickets came on for Amsterdam on the day of the gig..

I've just run to my PC after a page change alert for Gigs and Tours. Turns out its just saying Thursday sold out now. Its a little dispiriting to see the categories gradually change from 'not available' (in my mind this means they might become available) to 'sold out' (all gone).

[sheffieldlady]

Looks like it's done it on all pages to Sold Out!

Yup  although they have changed from sold out to find tickets before (with no tickets to be found) so still worth keeping an eye on it.

[sheffieldlady]

I'm going to keep an eye out for two Saturday tickets but no big deal if not! Just wanted some company on the Friday haha!
