Radiohead

Don't see the big R returning for 2025 fests just yet though.

 

Hoping for another round of The Smile actually. That upcoming record going to be a banger by the looks of it.

Wherever they're playing I want to be there. Haven't seen them for aeons and in the meantime they've become my 15-year-old son's favourite band, so it would be a thing for us. Moon Shaped Pool was absolutely phenomenal, perhaps my favourite album of theirs, though it took me a while to work that out. In short, I couldn't be more excited at the prospect of failing to get tickets to see them.

Last saw them at Lolla Berlin in 2016. They played amazing but the festival crowd was not warm to them. Obviously frontloading the set with A Moon Shaped Pool was not a good idea for a more generalist day-fest crowd.

Will prio seeing RH on their return at their own show; I just dont feel they are a 'festival' band anymore (unless its their own curated 1 dayer to the mega fans).

It won't be that bad surely? Unless they play tiny venues

Serious? I was at that Lolla Berlin gig and thought that crowd was excellent. The field was absolutely packed.

 

So many die hard fans that day. It also was a greatest hits set, they even played Creep.

Id love them to do some KID AMENISIAC specific shows - be great  - probably would not work at a festival though

2027? 30 years of OKC this time?

Radiohead are not a band to do anniversary shows. They've never done it. They release the extended albums but I have never got the vibe from them that they would indulge in anniversary shows, they're just not that type of band.

you are probably right on that,  not sure they would even commit to maintaining the same setlist for more than 2 gigs in a row - let alone play an album in full consistently

Someone ( 👀 ) was claiming recently that the Pyramid 2017 show was an OK Computer anniversary set.

[Yokel Again]

Was GUTTED to miss them in 2017, was torture watching at home.

 

Be super chuffed if they did it.

I might have just been in a bad spot. 😞 

The 2nd half incredible though (although no All I Need 😞)!

TY/JG seem to be having more fun jamming/experimenting. Can see RH perhaps leaning more into material of a particular album with deeper cuts/b-sides but never a full-runthrough from start to finish for an anniversary.

Obviously would still lose my sh*t if an OKC show happened.

I think they did one or two more from OKC than usual, but it was more of a nod than an all out celebration 

[Walter Sobchak]

2017 was truly special! Hope to the lord I'm at the farm next time they play.

But less so if your sans tickets again

2017 was dull af. Thankfully it’s too soon for them to return.

They won't be at the farm in 25. They are talking though and if they manage to find time for studio next year, they might be ready for an album+tour cycle in 26/27.

Same, was a fabulous set and I desperately wanted to be there.

Yep, tedious. One of my best ever decisions to leave early and head over to the Park for Flaming Lips.

I’d love to see the lips back next year. Missed them in 17, guess where we were! Having said that I enjoyed Radiohead. One of those clashes it was hard to decide on where to go.

Just read something about Radiohead doing a cathedral tour. Anyone heard of that’s true? Would be epic and Potensh put them in the frame for a secret set?

 

Its a string quartet playing the songs of radiohead in cathedrals not the band themselves, tickets for it are out now
