Radiohead Headlining 2017

[T-Mouse]

Without being overly dramatic, failure to get a ticket in the resale will almost certainly lead to me to this...

Fingers crossed for Nick Cave JPT headline slot Saturday night then!

Nick walks out, sees one fan and various stewards dotted about, says "I'm not missing Radiohead for this" and bolts.

That suicide emoji would probably make a few more appearances.

any bookies offering odds on this? fancy a small wager since i was one of the unlucky ones who didn't get tickets for the first time since i started going (7 years ago) :((

 

It would soften the blow slightly...

Amazing news for a Wednesday afternoon in October! I should probably feel a tad guilty basking in the glory as my wait for this has been a lot shorter than some of the hardcore on here.

I always liked what i heard but never went out of my way to listen to Radiohead. Then when In Rainbows came out my flat mate got it on vinyl, i heard Weird Fishes/Arpeggi for the first time and was totally blown away by what i heard! From that point onwards i casually started listening to the other albums up until Primavera this year, once i saw that set back in May i was hooked! I keep telling people that it was probably the best live set ive ever seen, me and my girlfriend literally walked away in to the Barcelona night air completely awestruck. Now so soon after its looking like just a year on we'll get to experience it all over again!

I saw them at the Roundhouse back in may this year. Was absolutely incredible, albeit a completely different type of gig to a festival...

It will be 20 years since Ok Computer came out next year. Wouldn't mind the whole of the album live.

Really hope they've sorted out playing  Burn the Witch live by next summer though. Especially if there are strings

I've been thinking the same thing. Not sure what they can do with it if they are adamant about not using strings! They might have to majorly rework the whole thing. It needs to sound bigger.

Yessss it's actually happening . Awesome news to come out of work to!

This thread is going to be a lot of fun over the next few months!

Aye, didn't mind it at the Roundhouse but thought it was particularly flat at NOS.

In the words of Craig David, what a time to be alive. 

[wozwebs]

Would presume a dance act on Other Stage same time?

@eFestivals that a confirmation on them playing the Saturday as well or just that they're playing? (sorry if already covered)

definitely didn't think they'd be on the Saturday. that definitely throws a spanner in the works, although i guess Roses, Radiohead, Sheeran, in that order, also works

word I've had included the saturday part.

Dear Thom and the lads,

You've got 8 months to get some fucking strings sorted for Burn The Witch.

Cheers

A Saturday night slot live on the Beeb would surely mean a crowd pleasing, hit heavy set.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Saturday suggests to me the lad Ed isn't one of the three. I'm leaning towards Radiohead the Roses and something out of left field

Not sure they really give a shit about the TV coverage. The closest they've ever come to a crowd pleasing set was their headline slot at Reading in 2009.

I really hope so. I had £20 on them at 6/1 when Neil first suggested the Saturday night. Scant consolation for being ticket less though.

Gonna be class
