Suprefan Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 8 minutes ago, Gilgamesh69 said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanderlyleTea Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Are multi day tickets slightly cheaper than buying 3 tickets separately or is it just the price x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dave85radiohead Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 It's been advertised else where on Twitter as a solo acoustic show on the piano playing both solo and Radiohead songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superunknown Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave85radiohead Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Martini Police Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 30 minutes ago, Gilgamesh69 said: So we thinking he'll be on the main stage? 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
