Same here! Your three people and my three people can both enjoy Major Lazer but they don't know what they're missing

If you leave for other from the left of the Pyramid field it's easier to get back in a decent spot from the same side but the crowd is gonna be huge for Radiohead. Don't think I wanna risk it for a crap spot

I don't think it'll be that big at all. Comparable to Arcade Fire 2014 maybe.

Aye, it'll most likely be the smallest of the three Pyramid headliners.

You reckon? I don't think the other main stages have strong headliners Friday night. At least on other, west holts and JP they'd all get similar crowds.

Yeah, the other two Pyramid headliners will have much bigger crowds. Dizzee, Flaming Lips and Major Lazer will all pull big crowds. Can't speak for Annie Mac really.

easily the smallest of the 3 headliner crowds overall, quite likely to be their smallest Pyramid gig of their 3 (97, 03) but...of this years' headliners, also probably the largest percentage of crowd eyeing a pit spot though vs the other two. could be hard getting in/out of there.

Status Quo will be rammed too

Not sure it's worth missing Radioheads entire set for 15 minutes of Lorde.  I've also seen her before.  My GF was super keen though so was hoping we'd catch at least a few songs.  Her recent setlists seem bottom heavy though.

Should get an idea from the Scandi gigs starting next week if they're tinkering with the opening salvo. My guess is if they're still going with Daydreaming/DID at those gigs it's what we will get at Glasto (it's what Coachella got). They're not gonna suddenly change opening songs for Glasto only, especially with the light show etc.

I really wouldn't put it past Radiohead to do something different for Glastonbury. They're making a lot of the 20th anniversary thing (OKC and Glastonbury) so I think it's well within the realms of possibility that they'll do something special for that show.

I wouldn't have been too fussed if they'd opened with Daydreaming as long as it followed with a banger and not DID, but now it's been confirmed their set is starting at 21:30 (and therefore not in complete darkness) I'd much prefer them to start with an outright banger (preferably Airbag). Think Daydreaming would fare a lot better/be more atmospheric in the dark so the light show looks better. Near end of the main set or encore opener would be cool.

Swap in Bodysnatchers somewhere and that is perfect.

Group of 8 of us going, only me and one of my mates (both big radiohead fans) are going, everyone else is going Dizzee Rascal which will be fun in all fairness.

 

I'm praying they play Nude and How to Disappear Completely. I think I'll be a wreck during the latter though.

That's a good point. Those lights will be nowhere near as good in the fading sunlight. Maybe we will get a different opener!

Jonny's just indicated on Twitter he's playing with Junun for most of their support slots on this tour as well as with Radiohead on the same night. That's pretty awesome. 

[ThomZorke]

Their first interview in a really long time. Mostly about the "OK Computer" anniversary but with some hints at the end of what the future might hold for the band.

interesting article, the ending seems optimistic though! doesn't sound like the band see AMSP as their last album, as rumours suggested.

[jparx]

Cracking interview. Doesn't sound at all like they're planning on calling it a day.

Thanks for sharing that, great read. 

[Madyaker]

Yeah it's encouraging. Thom seems in good form and they are enjoying this tour. Even mentioned the idea of a live album but I won't hold my breath. I'd love AMSP from the basement. Pity it wasn't a UK magazine, they might have asked something about Glasto.

1) I found this thread on page 3... Absolutely pathetic.

2) I have 2 spare tickets for Radiohead's Manchester show on the 5th July. They're both standing. Me and another friend will still be going so you will need to meet us outside the venue so we can go in together (for ID purpose). Tickets are face value £82.50 (Inc booking fees). Let me know if any of you are interested.

I'm not sure he's talking about a live album. I think he means he could be persuaded to make an album where the whole band are playing in the same room, old school, like when they made OKC. Since Kid A I don't think they have worked in that way.

Hi, my mates interested in the tickets, any chance I can secure at least one? Cheers 

[Calvin Klein]

I'm seriously questioning if I should go see Radiohead or the Flaming Lips. It's the worst  So ridiculous. I cannot imagine a worst possible clash.

That's how I read the article, which I found pretty surprising. Obviously Kid A, Amnesiac and The King Of Limbs weren't recorded in a traditional band way, but good chunks of HYATT and In Rainbows certainly sounded like there were products of rehearsal rooms + especially There There + Jigsaw.
