Is it his own material acoustic or Radiohead do we think.

2 women headliners in 3 years. Optics don't look good.

I know I’m being pedantic, but it’s 3 (so far). The xx, Bjork and Christine & the Queens.

So acoustic set is making me think perhaps it will have Radiohead covers? As usually his music is quite electronic, no?

He has done career spanning acoustic sets before. Shouldnt Really be considered covers since theyre still his songs, just without the band. He will have a keyboard/piano/laptop and guitar. Go look up his set from latitude in 2009, itll be like that. He did an acoustic set in paris a couple years ago and played radiohead, atoms for peace and solo material.

 He will play everything. Just dont expect Creep.

Are multi day tickets slightly cheaper than buying 3 tickets separately or is it just the price x3

Unlike his current Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes tour, where the Radiohead frontman is accompanied by Nigel Godrich and visual artist Tarik Barr, his set at Victoria Park will see him take the stage solo – performing tracks from his own back-catalogue as well as Radiohead’s in a never-seen-before way.

It's been advertised else where on Twitter as a solo acoustic show on the piano playing both solo and Radiohead songs

I don't think I'd want to hear Creep acoustic 😂😂😂 

[SomeoneListeningIn]

Also yeah that day is very appealing to me now. A rare acoustic Thom Yorke set, Young Fathers (who I’ve not managed to see live yet and are towards the top of my bucket list) and Massive Attack is a big enough seller for me.

My girlfriend is really interested in the BBC day, and we’d both be into the Tame day so might try and make a weekend out of it.

I dunno, the majority of the XX have testicles. By that measure the Corrs are a male act.

Massive Attack must have sold badly then or do you think this was planned?

So ya just gonna ignore the frontwoman and call them a male headliner?

The original announcement had "plus special guest" so I'd say it was planned

‘Plus special guest’ was on the poster from day 1

So....not a woman, then

I provisionally take this back.

That day just got a lot stronger, will probably stick around for the Sunday now too, especially as it's Bank Holiday. 

Think this announcement and the BBC one will mean we won't be getting the final headliner in this weeks timeout though.

JFC. That’s one hell of a special guest.

Yea, pretty awesome.

[Gilgamesh69]

So we thinking he'll be on the main stage?

[Dave85radiohead]

Can't get a babysitter for the bank holiday Weekender so got my wife a ticket as her friends are already going as they're all big massive attack fans. So jealous of everyone who gets to go to this. It will be great.

Looking forward to seeing Thom Yorke in Manchester but I think this will be a bit special

He’s way too big for any other stage.. but I can’t imagine how bad an ‘acoustic’ set will be with all those main stage chatters

I imagine Thom's crowd will be bigger that Massive's.

Yeah, he’s the sub. 

“Thom Yorke has been announced as the sub-headliner for Massive Attack’s day at All Points East. And not Yorke backed by Radiohead, nor his usual flashy setup. Just him, solo at sundown, with a guitar and a piano, and maybe a theremin if he’s in the mood.” (Timeout)
