Radiohead touring in 2016

[somecoolusername]

Yeah, I really don't see them doing a set on one of the nighttime stages. Maybe DJing or something, but not playing a gig. And there isn't a glaringly empty spot on the lineup for them.

I'm utterly convinced it's not happening.

Yep, we'll get one of thom yorkes appalling dj sets. Where's that video of the radiohead fans gazing adoringly at him while he plays some absolute dirge when you need it.

True. Although why would Radiohead want to play for a bunch of half out of it, half asleep high as kite drunks?

Plus the inevitable eFests meet.

The same reason Thom Yorke wants to DJ for them other years

I love this thread!

The hope, the dwindling false hope. Its like a balloon being deflated very slowly over a few months. Its fascinating to watch.

People need to look at themselves in the mirror. A band, with a fucking insane fan base, a band big enough to headline, playing in the SE Corner? 

Emily: "How about Radiohead for the Hell Stage?"

Nick "Remember last time when loads of tents got trampled and people pissed everywhere? We get big fines for that sort of thing and it puts the festival at risk. Your old boy is already talking about moving the festival because of this sort of thing"

Emily: "Ah fuck it, put them on in a smaller area so. An area thats very difficult to get in and out of making it more dangerous".

haha. Sorry wasn't clear enough!

Basically, anyone who thinks this is a runner, google "Roskilde 2000" & "Glastonbury fence".

Literally not a hope in errr..... Hell (stage). Not a fucking prayer of it happening. They wouldn't even put the Kaiser Chiefs on there at that time.

What I don't understand is why they would want to do it. When they did their 'secret' set they were playing tracks from the new album for the first time, away from the cameras. I don't know why they would now want to play to a tiny crowd in the middle of a tour, when their Roundhouse shows got such good reviews.

[Idioteque18]

The good news is this basically means they're doing some UK shows next year/headline slot. Major festivals and larger shows elsewhere, and we get 3 small roundhouse shows? Doesn't make sense. Look at the silver lining guys!

Just because - especially Nal - will love this so very much.....

I already have someone telling me telling me they're already signed and sealed to headline next year.

Mega. Getting harder to get tickets each year, this will make me more determined.

You were anti-2017 for much of the thread so I don't know how that's pulling you back in.

[jparx]

Definitely time for a new thread!

[jparx]

Just need to make sure I get tickets now

Is this a good source? Assuming it must be if you've shared it.

The Radiohead rumours will outlive us all 

[brettredmayne]

Can we just rename this "the Radiohead thread"

[SwedgeAntilles]

A 'Generic Radiohead Thread' after the disappointment of yesterday?

in theory, yes. Not really proven to any degree tho.

I'm normally naturally cautious of anything I hear this far in advance  because Michael always used to say at the end of one fest they were booked for next year, and later stuff made it clear they never were - tho looser arrangements were sometimes made.

More recently I know Glasto have sorted things a bit earlier. It's not impossible that last year's Coldplay info was wrong only because the info lost the 'for 2017' bit along the way, and it's occurred to me that perhaps the same might be true with my original RH info.

So who knows? It's a pretty obvious guess to make for next year anyway.
