wish all these festivals were just a little further away from Glastonbury, because those are some awesome lineups that Radiohead are topping elsewhere in Europe

Can't go to the big G this year. It'd be soul destroying if they played and I wasn't there!

2017 I can only hope they do.

It was reported on 6 music. Said she "hoped to" reveal some. Probably won't like. 

Thanks Claire but as I'm still very much on the fence I think there's people who have been steadfast since October that deserve help more  If I can find an alternative I like I may well do that. Just annoying as Primavera would have been perfect. 

Nos looks alright but not a lot of line up out yet. Definitely an option. 

Isn't the lineup normally out before the resale? The initial poster has been out before the resale the last two years.

Usually, but it seems pretty late this year. They've not even released anything yet at all... Could be something similar to 2013 though where nothing is announced until late march, when they release everything. Which I would kinda prefer

We need...THE THINGY!

Initial poster come out balance payment week last couple of years. Not sure about full line up. I thought last year that was after resale, but not sure

Yeah it wasn't the full lineup, just the initial poster.

Don't know how much this is worth but my friend knows someone who used to manage radiohead and is still apparently vaguely close with them, apparently he told her that they're def doing glasto.

too 'apparently' in that statement for me. 

[knivesout]

Yeah I mean, it's hardly the most watertight prediction, thought you guys might still want to know 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Think the same two guys have managed Radiohead since year zero.

Maybe it was a record label link then, I can't remember the exact wording - was from a rather drunk walk home in the early hours of this morning (or maybe it's just bollocks)

Edit: I can't get @Gnomicide's Thingy to work.

Edit Edit: Ooo, yeah, it's up and pround and working now. And positively throbbing with info.

Haven't you got form on here for being an absolute bellend?

Apologies if not.

[Gucci Piggy]

We must all collectively hope that Muse are announced for R&L next week, because if they get ruled out then Radiohead are the most likely to be at Glasto in their place imo. 

[Zoo Music Girl]

They fucking are aren't they the absolute ballbags.

I think you may be right. 

 

Although so have we - for different reasons. 

Yes, I was aware of the hypocrisy!

haha I don't think so - this is the first time I've actually posted in a good few months and I don't think I've ever been particularly conspicuous on here.

Not enough positivity regarding the likelyhood of Radiohead playing! They were always one of my favourites given a new album was due - the only stumbling block being the lack of gig announcements.  Now they've announced Euro festival dates either side of Glasto, AND we've had word from the guy at the christmas party, AND now from the ex manager.

Its happening! Nailed on I'd say!

A lot of us are cautiously optimistic

[CaledonianGonzo]

And the stumbling  lock of three other acts already looking pretty likely.

With a fourth if one of those doesn't work out.

For those who don't know, I'm talking about Coldplay, Muse, Adele and Foo Fighters.

It has been mentioned a few times that 2018s headliners have been booked too...

So there's a fair chance rumours about some bands headlining might filter through when in fact they're doing next year.

 

Given that Radiohead will likely be touring this autumn in Europe and may well do Asia/South America next year (no specific rumours there, just following on from what would be expected), a headline performance next year once they've honed their live show and their album is more firmly embedded in fans minds might be what they have planned...

Interesting to note that there's been some kinda announcement in February going all the way back to 2008.

 

Edit - apart from 2013, that kinda blows a hole in my theory

First rule of thingy club is not to try and decipher any sort of announcement pattern. It only leads to inevitable disappointment.

Finding patterns in the thingy is the same as inventing new slots. See the "Queens of the Stone Age Slot", the "Motorhead slot" or the "Friday afternoon hip hop slot".

I like the "Friday morning bigger than you'd expect at that time on the Other stage act to compensate for the inevitable disappointment of the preceding secret opener" slot.
