Throw in "Radiohead are playing NOW" out on the wireless and yeah, it'll be very crushed. Dangerously so. nah. By 2am half the site is in bed, and most of the other half isn't moving very much and certainly not very far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although why would Radiohead want to play for a bunch of half out of it, half asleep high as kite drunks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somecoolusername Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The Nal Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) 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". Edited June 1, 2016 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited June 1, 2016 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
