Radiohead Headlining 2017


The Nal

Recommended Posts

What incredible news and so early on, and such a cool way to announce it. Also very cool that Glastonbury themselves get to be the first ones to announce any Radiohead tour news, which Radiohead fans all around the world are anxiously waiting to hear about. Bet you Radiohead requested the Friday night so they can get the job done and let loose the rest of the weekend...

UK/European tour in late May/June leading up to the big G I'm guessing. 

Probably a good call.

It'll be nice not to have to try and be disappointed for gig tickets this time - couldn't get near the Roundhouse and couldn't really justify the cost even if I had... Also nice to not be in the position I was in for 2014 when I felt I had to buy tickets for Arcade Fire at Earls Court just in case I didn't get resale tickets. I got both in the end, but felt it would somehow jinx it to not try for the gig.

I have a mates stag do and his wedding. Both abroad in feb and late may. I will need to save as much as I can. I doubt I will afford a big gig that I haven't already paid for until Glastonbury.

Todays confirmation makes things very very good on the Radiohead front.  No need to worry missing them now.

I like 2+2=5 a lot, but I don't think it translates well live. It was really disappointing at NOS Alive and it's slipped down my list a bit as a result!

Oh man. Why would you say that :( I hope this isn't the case at Glasto, if the play it of course. I'm worried now.

Playing Opener festival in Poland so this is probably why glastonbury announced today. 

We will see a few dates announced in next 2 weeks 

Not really a surprise but the Open'er chief confirmed they'd play for 2.5 hours so will expect the same at Glastonbury. Wipes out the top two on every stage (three on Park) so they best be good!

Had the bends on in the car on the way back from work, took a detour so I got the finish of Black Star, Sulk and Street Spirit before I got home. Black Star was is and shall be a stone cold gorgeous bit of music.

I wish this forum had a facility like others where you could see how many times people have posted in threads.

For someone anti-Radiohead you post a shit load in here :lol:

You can! Or you used to be able to. Definitely seen the feature before because I was usually top. :geek:

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
