Great stuff.

I read on the Werchter bit on Festileaks someone mention that a tour was being announced in late October but it was worded like it was an existing rumour that was being referenced. I'd not heard anything about it anyway. Would be well timed; before they start getting announced for every festival while Glasto takes its time.

If only there were some sort of thingamabob we could check such things on.

Apparently so, you can make it out as the first track in this picture:

Well I don't imagine they'd announce Glastonbury at the same time... but they can if they want.  It'd be most welcome if the UK tour is some two-nights-O2 bullshit.

It was apparently on Atease this stuff about the tour being announced in the second half of October btw if anyone has access to that.

[brettredmayne]

I had a dream where radiohead posted a segment of the daydreamer video and when Thom walks out a door he ends at the pyramid stage as the announcement

When these tour dates come out there will almost certainly be the proverbial 'Glastonbury shaped hole' since its unlikely they will do a 100+ date tour. The only possible indication of a headline appearance, at this stage, would be UK tour dates within a week or so of the festival. If they are in a different continent of the week of the festival we can almost rule it out entirely.

[dentalplan]

The AMSP tour should imaginably journey through indoor venues over the winter months rather than outdoor parks over the summer so the months around Glastonbury should remain fairly free, I expect. But shit, I'm not looking for indication of them playing Glasto from them, I'm looking for indication of them playing the North of England.

I was more thinking they would do a couple of big outdoor UK shows like when they did the Old Trafford cricket ground, but thinking more about it I guess your right - it'll likely be indoor venues.

Really hope it's not big outdoor venues again, the IR tour was amazing in terms of songs played and performances but the UK venues were terrible.

Thought Old Trafford was a great venue myself. 

[jparx]

I think I'd rather outdoor shows than arenas personally. Don't really like either, but outdoor shows would be the lesser of two evils. I'd be surprised if they played smaller shows than arenas given the success of the album, although there's every chance I will be wrong!

[brettredmayne]

I can't see them playing stadiums like Man City or Sunderland , just doesn't seem to fit with Radiohead.

I would like a north east date as in 20 years Radiohead have played the region twice 

[Hutchmaster]

I assume the chances of a Belfast and/or Liverpool date are pretty much 0?

[arcade fireman]

Sound is better at indoor shows generally for me, would prefer indoor shows to big outdoor ones. LCCC was alright but Victoria Park was a rubbish venue. Anyway those venues were selected specifically on a carbon emissions basis which they seemed to quietly drop for the TKOL tour. So I reckon we'd get indoors again.

God I wish big acts came to Liverpool. The acts that play our arena are laughable - has beens and tribute acts galore

[sheffieldlady]

I'd rather an indoor tour but I'll take what I can get!

Holy shit that would be awesome

[brettredmayne]

I've been trying to persuade the head booker at the stadium of light that he needs to book them 

[nikkic]

Would be the most entertaining thing there in years!
