Radiohead Headlining 2017

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.

Well I don't imagine they'd announce Glastonbury at the same time... but they can if they want. :D 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.

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.

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. :P

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.

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!

    • Any festival is going to face most of the same limitations just by the nature of the event. It's not realistic to accommodate custom staging that extends out deep into the field. Trying to do so and trying to rebuild those kind of structures at the front of the field every day would severely impact on other performers, potentially even including other headliners. It'd also drive everyone involved insane. The most you can get away with is a basic extension that doesn't hide anything fancy. Remember that a lot of the time on these big choreographed shows, the stage extension itself will contain all manner of things to help the show beyond just being a simple platform. Also remember that these structures are designed to be assembled and operate on perfectly flat stadium or arena floors.   In terms of the stage itself - yes, the Pyramid is undersized (I believe 16 metres wide at rigging level). The de facto industry standard has become 20 metres and so it likely does need increasing and apparently there are plans to do so. But that only helps with artists that can largely confine themselves to the stage.   The Other Stage is already 20 metres - to be exact the Other Stage structure is the same model that Serious Stages provide to Reading, Leeds, Download etc for use as their Main Stage and there's nothing larger (at least off the shelf) in their catalogue. So no reason to change that.
    • Can someone remind me, on Harry Styles specifically - have we had any concrete info on him?   I don't personally remember saying much/anything on him, though I have just been away for a month, so could be forgetting something.
